Most Underrated Bands (by the forum)
« on: March 19, 2011, 07:50:26 PM »
Hopefully this will be more positive than the other thread.

Not looking for your most "obscure" or "unknown" band...this is where you give bands that you really think deserve more praise than people that know of them give to them.  Limited to the DTF community, for obvious reasons.

Recommend a couple songs too.

GO!

This forum is sort of down on fun, danceable, poppier stuff.  But there's lots of good stuff out there that doesn't get discussed as much here.

For example:

He's appreciated just fine. Bands like Mew, Arcade Fire, dredg, The Dear Hunter, Brand New and Bright Eyes need to be appreciated more on DTF.

I can actually agree with you here.

I can agree with this! It's cool that they have at least a few fans here, though. :smiley:

Nah. I think most people here are just as familiar with them as anyone should be. What this board (thankfully) doesn't have is people talking about them constantly like they're the only metal band that ever existed.

Peter Gabriel


Yes!  His post-Genesis stuff is not appreciated enough on this forum.  I'll also echo the Pro-Mew sentiment.

Despite frequent attempts on my part, all of you continually fail to notice that Susanne Sundfør is one of the greatest things ever to grace music. 

And then I could probably name off well over half of my music library as artists that should have a lot more recognition here, as well as everywhere.

I definitely should have mentioned Arcade Fire in my earlier post. D'oh!

Solo Peter Gabriel definitely does not get appreciated enough around these parts.

Since this board supposedly likes modern prog, Fromuz (From.uz is band's new name) and Nemo come to mind.  Especially the former, since it has DT influences but not so much to be a distraction.

Check out "Seventh Story sampler"
