Favorite Bands

Share your favorite bands that aren't super popular.

Against Me! is by far my favorite band, they're a kind of an odd mix between Punk and Folk and Grunge. They make some really catchy music, and you dont have to really be a fan of any of those genres (I got my entire residence floor last year loving them, and they all had different tastes in music).

I've seen them live 5 times, and they're by far one of the best live bands I've ever seen, and Ive gone to a lot of concerts.

The Dude · 02-10-2007, 02:14 AM

Dream Theater although I can't be too sure on their popularity. I only found them because someone I knew listened to them.

Shakan'Dar · 02-10-2007, 02:18 AM

I'm basically obsessed with a progressive metal band called Dream Theater. It's weird because they're not super popular, but 3/4 people I show them to likes them. They've been playing for 20 years, and just had their 20th anniversary tour last year. They have 8 full length albums, and lots of epic songs, as is typical of a prog. band. If you're into a lot of the heavier stuff, I'd suggest listening to some songs from their Train of Thought album. If you really like prog. then their Awake album will probably interest you. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is a good mix of heavy songs and prog.

Anyway, they're supposed to be releasing their 9th full length album in spring/summer this year, and I can hardly wait, because they haven't even peaked as a band yet. Their last album was their best yet. So jump on the Dream Theater bandwagon, it's not too late!

well, if two people comment they must be good huh!

The Dude · 02-10-2007, 02:20 AM

I've heard about the new album that's going to be released just didn't know when. Also another really good prog rock band is Trans Siberian Orchestra which play classical and christmas music but add rock instruments to it and give them a new style.

Ugly Casanova · 02-10-2007, 02:54 AM

The Flaming Lips and Minus The Bear

Akira Avelon · 02-10-2007, 03:24 AM

DragonForce, Kiss, Linkin Park, Daft Punk and anything else techno, Hard and Classic rock and Death, power and heavy metal bands... I also like alot of Anime themes and game music. As well as, Some easy listening and Celtic music while I sleep.

Naked Gackt · 02-10-2007, 11:41 AM

Super popular in which country? That could change quite a bit most of the bands I put down...but basically ones that aren't very famous anywhere: ALI PROJECT, BUCK-TICK, Girugamesh, Kana and Madeth Gray'll.

Well, I can't offer my own opinion,as I havn't heard Mastodon's drummer, but Portnoy has been in many drumming magazines as the best drummer, voted by lots of people.

I'm a bass player myself, so I don't really care who the best drummer is.
