What Band Would You Most Want People To Start Listening To?
 

Only one band, and please no bands who sell a million records,obviously they don't need help.
Mine would be Rasputina, a all girl, all chello, band. They Frikin Rock!

<(^_^)>

I've said it a trillion times, and I'll say it again:

-Glassjaw (melodic hardcore/screamo)

-The Apex Theory (versatile hardish rock)

-Lostprophets (screamo/"nu-metal"ish... but better than typical nu-metal)

-Snapcase (Incredibly intelligent melodic hardcore)

-Hot Water Music (Lively post-grunge)

The Elms - think strokes, hives, vines
Apex theory - modern rock

*HIGH FIVE!*

- Thievery Corporation

- Cast Iron Filter

- Ari Hest

Anthrax and Motörhead. Both seem to do okay, but they don't get the credit they deserve.

True 'dat.

I also think that Iron Maiden aren't recognized as much as they'd ought to be, in the States at least.

The Pixies... their first few albums are on my MP3 playlist all the time...

OH LOOK!!! JUST ONE BAND.


anyway, now that that is out of my system, I'm a big fan of Fleming and John. She does all the vocals, he plays... well all the instruments. Literally. On the album "The Way We Were", he is credited as playing all the instruments. :D

Mecca Normal: only a singer and a guitarist, but they make gorgeous noise.

opeth!

i don't think they sell millions of records lol

Reverend Horton Heat

Not so much a band, as one guy, but my choice is <b>BT</b>

Fucking right, get to see them in minneapolis this weekend.

Excellent choices, too bad Apex Theory broke up.

-Hot Water Music (Lively post-grunge)

Damn you. They are a horrid live band.

my pick is Dredg.


go listen to them. My best way of explaining them to someone is Tool meets Pink Floyd. www.dredg.com

Here's a few from me:

1. Thrice - they are getting huge now but they're new CD is fucking sick
2. Killswitch Engage - kind of like Pantera
3. Poison the Well - hardcore with periodic melodic interludes
4. Disco Biscuits - I can't describe these guys but they kind of like Phish, with a real "groovy" sound

Nhx: Hell yeah
I would say string cheese incident: They play a little bit of everything but do it very well

Radiohead... oh yeah, they sell millions...

Atmos. Slept on hip-hop that will blow your mind. Check out "Watching the skies"

I agree, the pixies are good.

Cursive, Rilo Kiley or Engine Down. I know that's not one band but they're fucking great.

Gotta pick Saviour Machine here. Xian Orchesteral Gothic Rock.

I was going to say the Pixies too. Good choice people.

Hell yeah! high five! Opeth are an amazing group of musicians. I have been playing guitar for 5 years now and can only dream of ever approaching these guys in pure talent.
Either them, or Lamb Of God.

Really? They are quite popular over here. Every wanna-be goth just screams their music everywhere...gets annoying, no offense.

As for me, I'd like Broken Social Scene to be better recognized. Great Canadian(never thought music could come from there :p) stuff.

Great responses keep it up! oh and you can post a few bands I was just trying to keep people from posting a million bands, because there are alot out there that don't get the credit they deserve.

My mates badn, but I don't know what they are called, they changed thir name a few times

Therapy? for one. Apollo 440 for another. And Spineshank for a third.

Come on folks.. simple instructions..
ONE BAND

I'd have to pick: Buffalo Daughter

widespread panic

Right now, its the New Pornographers (I'd say they are pop-rock, not mainstream tho)

Honorable mention: Sigur Ros (for something completely different. Hear them in the Vanilla Sky soundtrack or in one of their two albums)
They make some of the most powerful music, but it ain't for everybody.

Technically, I picked one band...

Later it might be something else. That's whats so great about music. Times change and so do my tastes.

The Mars Volta!

porcupine tree and the flaming lips

I'll second The Flaming Lips.

Bella Morte...cause they're hot...

Pink Floyd

Sigur Ros also worked on a project called "mum"

I found some of their music quite enjoyable as well :)

as far as a band i would want, fischerspooner takes the top rank, for the time being ;)

they put out a great CD not too long ago that i'm quite impressed with

Not that they're a particularly amazing band right now, but I think RA might have the potential to be a very good band if they become more reknowned.
