Music
 

Do you ever really like a musical artist that very few other people have heard of?

1) Who is the artist/group/band?
2) Any of their songs the general public would recognize?
3) Songs from this artist/group/band that you would recommend?

Mine:
1) Amanda Marshall
2) "Ride" (in "The Replacements")
3) "Sunday Morning After," "Dizzy," and "Everybody's Got A Story"

1) Plumb
2) "Stranded" (in "Drive Me Crazy") and "Damaged" (in "Brokedown Palace")
3) "Here With Me," "Phobic," "World's Collide," and "Lie Low"

1) The Style Council
2) "My Ever Changing Moods", "Shout to the Top" (from Vision Quest)
3) "How She Threw It All Away", "It's A Very Deep Sea", "The Lodgers (or, She Was Only A Shopkeeper's Daughter)"

This is my favorite band of all time and I pretty much love everything they have done.

1) Sebadoh
2) The only song I ever have heard by them on the radio is "Flame"
3) "Brand New Love" "Not Too Amused" "Soul and Fire" "Willing to wait"

I've actually got a several...I'm seriously like the king of obscure music.

1)Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
2)"lovin Machine" from the Road Trip soundtrack (it's also my self-decided Theme song!!!)
3)"Magical Colors" "Lovin' Machine (Dan the Automator remix)" "Orange" "F*** Sh*t Up"

1)Pomeroy
2) you've probably heard of them if you live in either Kansas City, Omaha, Denver, Manhatten KS, or Lincoln NE, and you keep abreast of the local club scenes...they toured briefly with The Urge
3) "Roboflow" "Summernight" "Droppin'" "My Paradise"

1)The Get Up Kids
2)Dunno, they tour incessently, and they do rock. They are actually from my school district in Kansas (I don't actually live in the city that comprises most of the district, so I can't say hometown truthfully). But anyway, the mom of one of the members was actually my 7th grade math teacher, and my little brother had her last year as well...for my birthday he got her to get them to autograph a cd for me.
3) "Don't hate Me" "Action & Action" "Red Letter Day" "Holiday" "Valentine"

1) Pat Green
2) Three Days
3) Carry On, Crazy, Dancehall Dreamer, Everclear, Songs About Texas, Three Days

1) Cory Morrow
2) Nashville Blues
3) Always and Forever, Big City Stripper, Drink One More Round, I Wanna Go Home, I'm Not Coming Home Tonight, Nashville Blues, Sing With Me, Texas Time Travelin'

1.Jimmy Wat World
2.The Middle from Bleed American is all over the radio and MTV
3. Their second album Clarity is AMAZING and my favorite of all time I would tell anyone to buy it

1.Kasey Chamber
2.I doubt anyone has heard it but A Million Tears is a great song and on constant replay on my CD player right now...

1.Dashboard Confessional
2.Screaming Infidelitites some people might have heard
3.Again I Go Unnoticed, The Places You Have Come To Fear Most and For You to Notice are all great songs...:D

good pick...

-The Gufs
-Smile
-Ariana, Mistake, Holiday From You

-Matthew Good Band (Don't know if many ppl in the states know of em)
-Hello Time Bomb
-Load Me Up, Fated, Running For Home

-Flogging Molly
-I won't even list....lol

Here's my answer:

1. Eva Cassidy (don't know if she's got much air play in the US - here in England, there is a BBC DJ who has given her stuff a lot of publicity)

2. "Over the Rainbow" (no disrespect to Judy Garland, but I've gotta say - Eva really knows how to sing this one!)

3. "Fields of Gold" (puts Sting's version to absolute shame...IMO!)

I love Kasey Chambers...one of her songs was on Dawsons Creek the other night.


John Mayer
his one song,"No Such Thing", is getting popular right now, but his whole CD is awesome!! worth every penny!!

I saw this girl on MTV and decided to check her out on Kazaa, so...

1) Avril
2) "Complicated" (buzzworthy video on MTV)
3) "Things I'll Never Say," "Skater Boy," "Tomorrow," and "Too Much To Ask"

Damn most of the music i listen to falls under this category

Umm..Ill just list bands
Thrice
Finch
Yellowcard
Further Seems Forever
The Movielife
The Starting Line
Rufio
The Ataris
Face to Face
I think a lot of people havent heard of those bands
Its awesome that at least people are getting into Dashboard Confessional, they are great. And the Get up kids.
but..damasa i cant believe you said Flogging Molly, they are one of the best live bands ever, my favorite songs are Saltydog, Selfish man and off the new album Whats Left of The Flag

Here's mine:

1. Beth Hart
2. Anyone who's been to a dance competition (i.e. Starpower, Showbiz, LADF, etc.) would know "mama" or "skin"
3. "mama" is an awesome song!!! download it NOW!!!!:)



1. Carbon Leaf
2. you probably don't know anything by them
3. "the Boxer" again, DOWNLOAD IT!!!!!!!!

~Holly

yes!! I love these two! Esp. together! They are amazing performers, really into pleasing their fans

(Grrreat Thread!)

-Jann Arden
-Many of you probably know her song "Insensitive" because it was popular a few years ago
-I would recommend her entire album "Happy?"...it's so relaxing...

-Fisher
-WB tends to use their songs alot...I know I heard almost half the "True North" album one night!
-"I Will Love You" is quite possibly one of the most beautiful melodies ever written..."Six-Hundred-Sixty-Six," "Hello, It's Me," and "The Life" are great too


Also-
The Dropkick Murphys
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies
They Might Be Giants
Bowling for Soup

:)

They actually played at my tiny little school last year for Spring Weekend. Along with 2 Skinnee J's (who I guess would be my pick for this thread, although I think a lot of people have heard of them)

Re: Music
 

[B]Do you ever really like a musical artist that very few other people have heard of?

1) Who is the artist/group/band? Jamie Walters

2) Any of their songs the general public would recognize? 'I'd Do Anything For You'

3) Songs from this artist/group/band that you would recommend?
'The Ride' kicks butt. The first time I heard 'Winona'. . .I cried. I love this cd.

I usually have a knack for listening to artists before they get famous. I was a big John Mayer and India Arie fan when they were just playing at local clubs in Atlanta.

My new favorite is Cody Chesnutt

You are so obviously from Wisconsin.

I saw the Gufs a couple years ago; they are awesome.

1- ATB
2- He does the club classic "9am Til I come" which you can probably hear in every night club nowdays.
3- Sunburn, First Love, Hold You, Let You Go, Hypnotic Beach, and basically every song on "Two Worlds."

1-The Donnas
2-Probably overplayed on MTV with "Take it Off" but they were in two movies that I know of, "Drive me Crazy" and "Jawbreaker." They were the band that played in the prom scenes.
3-Lots of good, possibly better songs on the album: It's on the rocks, You're not the one, too bad about your girl, Who invited you?...

1) Jason Mraz
2) The Remedy
3) "You and I Both," "Sleeping to Dream," "No Stopping Us"

1) Granian
2) Whole Again
3) "All In The Face," "Circle," "Far From Saved"

Dream Evil (Excellent European Rock)
The Album Evilized is great

Cooder Graw (Country)
Llano Estacado, My Give a Damn is Broken

Dani Leigh (Country)

Doug Moreland (Country)

Django Walker (Country)

Interpol (Rock)

Jason Boland (Country)

That's enough

The Matrix Reloaded soundtrack is awesome

I love the some of your guys' obscure artists!! me First and the Gimmie Gimmies are awesome! Dropkick Murphys, Mathew Goodband and The Ataris all kick ass.

Sunny Day Real Estate, Tea Party, Mathew Sweet, Prozac, The Meat Puppets, these are all great bands that you should check out on Kazaa. Some Canadian (I swear they keep all the good music for themsleves and give us Celine Dion and Bryan Adams).

Also, look for Cibo Matto (very fun Japanese duo), Tracy Bonham (had a hit a while back "Mother, Mother") and Merryl Bainbridge (another one had one hit then dissappeared. Remember "Mouth", well, that was her)

1) The Streets
2) Weak become Heros (the remix plays in all the A&F, AE stores)
3) Has it Come to This?, It's Too Late, Don't Mug yourself, Turn the Page....the whole damn album is brilliant!

1) Dan Bern
2) ??
3) I Need You, Talkin' Mrs. DiFranco Blues

1) Edie Brickell
2) What I Am
3) A Hard Rain's A'Gonna Fall (Dylan cover)

1) Matt Nathanson
2) ??
3) Wings

1) The Spooks
2) Karma Hotel
3) Things I've Seen

1) Patti Rothberg
2) ??
3) It's Alright, Inside
