    List them! Most people i know have CDs by loads of bands I hadn't heard of, so there must be plenty of them here.
    C'mon...

    I'll get the ball rolling:
    Pitchshifter
    Dead Kennedys
    Limp Bizkit (OK, this one <I>is</I> a joke.not that i'd ever listen to them)

    Lol, ah yes. E-commerce 2001. Whilst Edna tried to teach us ever so complicated HTML and Java, we abused Boards.ie with useless SAPM!!! Not spam - SAPM! And Hugh came up with the name for the doomed CTYI Bored. And other stuff, but yes, we abused Boards.ie except I can't remember my old username so I lost my 200+ postcount, ah nevermind. The mods were slightly less than amused by our ramblings and SAPM though. Ah, memories ...

    ok first off, Hugh, Dead Kennedys split ages ago, their lead singer left but the rest of the band created a new band and are now scamming ppl out of their money by going around advertising their tours as Dead Kennedys but it ain't them

    BOB!!
    I introduced u to Hoobastank, Dashboard Confessional and to the rest of Jimmy Eat World's greatness(PS: did I mention Jimmy Eat World were also voted the gr8est every band in the first every Dermo awards!!), and Stabbing Westward split, well I think

    and other bands:
    Promise Ring(Playing with Jimmy Eat World on the 23rd May in the Ambassador)
    Fuel(LISTEN TO THEM!!)
    Jimmy Eat World
    Incubus(well they are getting bigger)
    Get Up Kids
    Jimmy Eat World
    Craig's Brother(just started listening to them myself)
    New Found Glory
    Jimmy Eat World
    Puddle Of Mudd

    that will be all for now, oh yeah and listen to Jimmy Eat World, THAT IS AN ORDER!!!

    I don't know how well known generally these bands are (the only ones I could think of without going down to look at my cd's :)), but myself and my friends are the only people around here who've heard of them anyway...

    Berkeley
    Grandaddy
    Mogwai
    Gomez
    The Sultans of Ping (ahhh,Where's Me Jumper?....hehheh,quality)
    The Smiths
    Jimmy Eat World
    ...that'll do for now... ;)

    David,I have to say that based on my brief experience of Bonnie Prince Billie (I only have one album - I See A Darkness), I'm not a huge fan. There were only one or two songs which I actually liked :s

    ooh! i've just realised that not half enough people listen to kittie due to this sort of perception that "girls playing rock" = "girlie rock music" which is WRONG!

    Also Manowar


    And my uncle knows Picturehouse and sometimes plays with them... i may ask him for autographs sometime... yes... >)

    And to this... HELL NO!
    They blow goats
    And the only reason people listen to them at all is because they're girls.
    It's almost a novelty.
    If they were guys, they'd be nowhere.

    I forgot Sugarcoma -- Kerrang! overplayed them a bit, but they do rock. Get some of their other songs not just their remake of Britney Spear's "(You Drive Me) Crazy". Anyway, Sugarcoma are a bunch of Essex girls who play pretty good punk rock. Yeah, they rock. Also, Moconium but I doubt any of you have or ever will hear of them. And Freek1512 rock aswell.

    ok... firstly my favourite type o negative quote:

    FAN: "ok i know you guys are only joking but what do you think of satanism?"
    PETER: "ALL HAIL SANTA!"

    lol


    anyway: kittie - first album sucked ass! it had 2 good songs and then stunk....
    Second album (Oracle) is soooooooo amazingly fantabulistical it's unbelievable!

    My mom listens to Eva Cassidy, she isn't actually that bad but she's very well known -- amongst menopausal women in anyway. How that reflects on you Neil, I don't know. :) Anyway, check your private messages dude.

    i haven't heard of about 5 bands listed so far. There seem to be few surprises for you lot,but i'll see.
    1. Dashboard Prophets
    2. Eliott Smith
    3. The Longpigs
    4. Wilt (ok maybe a bit better known)
    5. Turn ( as above)

    So many of the bands are beginning to become really well known. Ah how times have changed, 2 years ago i could name only one person outside my family who had heard of the frames, and one who had heard of jeff buckley....

    Hugh, I first heard of Static X about a year and a half ago and back then I thought they were great -- Black and White rocked my world, but since then my tastes have changed somewhat and whilst I still think they are a good band I amn't exactly "into them" as it were.
