Just about every band I listen to.

Hopefully, most of the BANDS I love, including but certainly not limited to VAN HALEN.

Uhm... The Offspring?

amok · « **Reply #6 on:** 29 Jul 2007, 09:09 »

Queens Of The Stone Age have been one of my favourite acts since I was 16.

valley_parade · « **Reply #7 on:** 29 Jul 2007, 10:03 »

I know maybe two other people on here that listen to the Lawrence Arms, but um, all of you SHOULD listen to them.

So uh, let's say Queen.

It's probably something to do with irony. I hear the kids are big for that these days.

I even liked that one. Not a ton. But a decent bit. The demos for it are excellent though.

the-artful-dodger-rodger · « **Reply #21 on:** 30 Jul 2007, 06:51 »

I think the point of thread, because of another thread like this but opposite, is about music that other people know about, so this thread isnt about showing off you indie cred.

some bands I like, that most people know about and have heard are:

Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd
Apples in Stero
AC/DC
Miles Davis
Velvet Underground
Cream
The Rolling Stones
Jimi Hendrix
Deep Purple
WolfMother
Black Mountain
The Stray Cats
The Reverend Horton Heat

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #22 on:** 30 Jul 2007, 09:41 »

I quite like:

The Beatles
Queens of the Stone Age
Black Sabbath

... and a host of other usually-classic-rock bands that I'll gladly put on if I'm using someone else's iPod (Cream, Jethro Tull, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, etc.) The ones I listed above are just the ones I went out of my way to really get into.

jimbunny · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 Jul 2007, 14:57 »

Gee, I like The Beatles too.

Tago Mago · « **Reply #24 on:** 30 Jul 2007, 15:43 »

The Beatles are so 2006.

The Beatles and Queen. If I was stranded on a desert island with a solar powered cd player, those are the two bands I'd be content with all the albums of.

There's a 'modify post' button for a reason. Just so you know.

Hipster as it may be, I do like Sufjan Stevens quite a bit.

SleeperCylon · « **Reply #29 on:** 30 Jul 2007, 21:18 »

If you count classic bands everyone has heard of, I could rattle off dozens and dozens of them. Beatles, Dylan, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Elvis Costello, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, and on, and on.

Contemporary bands the list is a bit shorter. Amy Winehouse, Lilly Allen, Modest Mouse, Radiohead of course. I don't know if Arcade Fire and the Shins count, but their records debuted at like #1 so they probably do.

There's probably some other bands everyone has heard of that I love, but I've kind of lost touch of what exactly everyone has heard of.

Jamiroquai

I'm pretty sure Porcupine Tree isn't that well known, and I've never heard of Jamiroquai. Porcupine Tree is pretty good IMO.

Baggy · « **Reply #34 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 07:51 »

Jamiroquai is indeed sweet. Gotta love the funk!

Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire. I can't help but love them.

Ernest · « **Reply #35 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 08:00 »

I do like Modest Mouse that is not from their past couple of albums.

Will · « **Reply #36 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 09:59 »

I don't really like any of what you'd call 'mainstream' bands; my tastes tend to run more obscure. Pretty much stuff that none of you would have ever heard of.

That would be correct, sir.

I personally don't get the whole "If no one has heard of them, they must be awesome" idea. It's almost as if the indie culture shuns people that like a band that their parents listened to.

Anyway, another band I just thought of that hasn't been mentioned:

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #38 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 10:56 »

The Beatles
Modest Mouse
Death Cab For Cutie
Madonna (NEW, old Madonna's SHITE)

Inlander · « **Reply #39 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 17:20 »

Madonna started at the pinnacle of pop-Everest with "Holiday", and has been sliding downhill ever since.

IronOxide · « **Reply #40 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 18:28 »

ABBA
Amy Winehouse
Andrew Lloyd Webber (Well, Jesus Christ Superstar)
Barenaked Ladies
B.B. King
The Beatles
Beck
Billy Joel
Cake
Cream
CSNY
David Bowie
Duran Duran
Fat Boy Slim
Foreigner
Genesis
Gnarls Barkley
Jimi Hendrix
John Coltrane
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Michael Jackson
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Phil Collins
Pink Floyd
The Polyphonic Spree
Queen
R.E.M.
Simon and Garfunkel

I also never got the concept too of the whole knowing the most obscure music is better then knowing music that other people know about, Indie cred is pointless.

You've never heard of Jamiroquai? What hole have you been living under? have you even SEEN napoleon dynamite?

Porpupine tree are in many CD stores, many mainstream CD stores here.

KISS

Also, Journey. The Ramones. Sam Roberts (hereabouts, anyhow...you put the name of a city into a catchy song's title, the people are gonna know). Wilco.

Ernest · « **Reply #44 on:** 31 Jul 2007, 23:11 »

Yeah, but they aren't exactly a household name. You know, you can buy Fugazi albums in a lot of mainstream outlets, too.

I have not heard of a lot of these bands, this thread is fucking shit.

The only answer to this thread is The Beatles, and Prince.

I don't think it does. I'm a big fan of liking who ever I want. My list of popular bands that I enjoy could be a hundred long, but some that are really taboo for an underground music fan to enjoy:

New Found Glory, Avril Lavigne, Yellowcard, and Plain White T's

I end up listening to the radio everyday at work (Q101, for any of you that are around chicago) and there are very few songs played on there that I dislike.

Hat · « **Reply #49 on:** 01 Aug 2007, 06:13 »

I have only heard of one of those bands, and so therefore, you are disqualified. (I am sorry I am being a dick to you new guy, its just you were the first person to post after I decided to implement my new 'be a dick' policy)
