    I havent given a list yet mate :) that was bobs list. Even though you could pretty much take his list as mine.
    anyway lets see.

    BAD RELIGION
    BAD RELIGION
    BAD RELIGION
    BAD RELIGION

    Randy
    Hot Water Music (oh so very very good)
    Catch 22
    The Distillers
    The Rolling Stones (Like it or not it all comes back to the stones)
    The Cheapskates (gotta love there sencerity in "All our songs sound the same" you can get a lot of there stuff off mp3.com)
    Stone Temple Pilots ( great stuff to relax too)
    Stiff Little Fingers (you havent heard punk till you've heard Inflammable Material)
    Pennywise (I think they made it big in america, didnt do much here, but great stuff, specially the earlier stuff before they lost there main song writer)
    Me First And The Gimme Gimmes ( think Fat Mike and some of the biggest names in punk arsing around playing 70s soft rock anthems)
    Fugazi (I really should do a poll one day to see whos better known, fugazi or bad religion)
    Anti Flag (think afi but less gothy)
    AFI (punk-goth, great genre)
    and Electric Funstuff (mp3.com again, if your geeky get them, songs like "Has anybody here seen my corpse" a tribute to EQ and "Deathmatch Mama" a ode to FPS's


    Now a note to fellow punks out there, did anyone else **** themselves when they saw the phrase "nu-punk" in a ad on page 5 of julys Rocksound, if _that_ word becomes widly used I'm going to start killing media jornalists

    Gong's new album is so good that it has to be pimped. BUY IT!

    JJ Cale is wonderful. As is Beefheart. <thinks>... Ben Harper is absolutely wonderful and not that big over here (compared to the States anyway).

    And wow. What an old thread. Heh... it had that huge argument between bob et moi over feeder... and me ripping the píss out of paul!

    maharr, since i missed this olllld thread the first time round, i now have something to do for the next ten minutes. not that anybody reads ridiculously long list of 'obscure' bands anyway...

    (these bands aren't obscure, just not listened to enough)

    + sleater-kinney
    + bikini kill
    + le tigre
    + poison the well
    + jack off jill
    + queen adreena
    + dEUS
    + my ruin
    + ani difranco
    + julie ruin
    + the dead milkmen
    + living with eating disorders
    + scarling
    + rasputina
    + the moldy peaches
    + daisy chainsaw
    + agsfb
    + the crocketts (seriously, go out and buy something, now)
    + babes in toyland


    well, that's ten minutes of my time gone. and i know a lot less 'obscure' bands than i thought i did.

    Hmm, all of the bands that I listen to that few people have heard of(Queen Adreena, Dasiy Chainsaw, Sugarcoma, Jack off Jill, Dead Kennedys, Flogging Molly, Napalm Death, Dropkick Murphys, Bad Religion, InMe etc.)have probably already been listed, not really bothered to look through the whole thread. In fact, the only lesser known bands I listen to not already mentioned are Rufio and X-Ray Spex, and they're not exactly great....but I love them anyway. Actually, I've realised that Bauhaus and possibly Sisters of Mercy aren't as well-known as I thought, which is a shame.

    It's quite interesting to see what bands have become better known in the past two years...AFI are pretty well-known now, Anti-Flag are on their way up afaik, and loads of people have heard of Rancid and the Distillers.

    Hmmmm...

    The Crayonz
    Finger 11
    Reel Big Fish
    The Undertones
    The Sultans of Ping
    The Tycho Brahae
    The Go-Betweens
    Joy Division
    Sponge
    Talking Heads
    Kings of Leon
    Josh Ritter
    The Distillers

    And does anyone know the name of the band that sung the song "Ha ha ha your ex-boyfriend joined the circus"? I liked that song, didn't catch the name on Phantom. And Phantom FM 92.1 can be heard at weekends (in the greater Dublin area only), and on the web at www.phantomfm.com. Listen to it! And no, they're not paying me to advertise, dammit. They SHOULD. I do enough of it.

    Well there is this band that my friend showed me that I'm sure most of yous haven't heard of. They're called Focus and they're this dutch band from early 70s I think. The music is a sort of Led zeppelin style with some jazz and classical things thrown in. They have to be the craziest band I've ever heard. There is even yodling in some stuff.

    AARRRGH he sucks so bad. If he were Irish no one would give a sh*t about him.

    Why do Irish people love bands/singers who are *not* Irish?

    well I can't see them becoming that successful either but they're good in my opinion, not one of my favourites but I like them.

    Oh I forgot to mention Cake, the band who sung the Short Skirt/Long Jacket song. I don't know how many people have actually heard of them, have any of you guys?

    the frames. cause so few people know them over here, and it's so sad that they don't. but their us tour should help a bit. (i saw them two days ago. agh! AMAZING. euphoric. words fail me. so beyond good, it was.)
    and more people need to listen to rasputina. NOW! go! yes, YOU! i mean, who doesn't love corset-wearing, cello-playing juillard drop outs?

    and way to drag up a TWO year old thread.

    But yeah... what use is this thread if nobody says what kinda music everything is? And why do I get the feeling that the majority of these bands are samey substandard repetitive feel-good-pop-punk/soft-rock/metal?

    Rhett Miller
    And check out the band he used to front, Old 97's.
    Rhett Miller - Our Love

    Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
    He should have quit before he had written the address
    They made love on the mezzanine her husband was his friend
    Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing
    That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
    He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words
    Our love surpassed our love so fast
    Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
    Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
    Our love goes on and on
    Our love our love
    Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive
    But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive
    Their rendezvous was singular her husband was his friend
    She is a living fire she is a reason to live
    She is killing me burning only for him
    I'll spend my whole life loving her my heart exploding words
    Our love surpassed our love so fast
    Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
    Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
    Our love goes on and on
    Our love our love our love our love
    Our love surpassed our love so fast
    Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
    Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
    Our love goes on and on our love our love
    Our love our love our love our love our love
