Fun Stuff > BAND

Bands you know you should have heard, but haven't

<< < (3/11) > >>

Kid Modernist:
I've only heard a few tunes of Sufjan Stevens. Le Tigre, Les Savvy Fav, um... The White Stripes.

There's a lot of bands that people bring up a lot that I never get around to listening to. It's sort of but I'm non-conformist, but I'm not bringing that up to be cool, it's a part of myself I wish I could get over actually. I usually come around eventually and find that the stuff is awesome.

[edit: And Snow Patrol]

grrraham:
Atom and his Package

El Opium:
This is stuff I'd like to hear but haven't gotten around to yet.
Pretty much all jazz (Did order some Miles Davis but they were out)
Pink Floyd's first album
Faust
Popol Vuh
Ash Ra Temple
Boredoms
Devo (cept for an old single of my moms)
Fushitsusha/Keiji Haino
High Rise
Boris
Throbbing Gristle
Einstuzende neubauten
13th Floor Elevators
Pretty deficient in classical though I do like Arvo Part a lot

I'll be getting Trout Mask Replica in the mail sometime this week so I'm looking forward to that.

Man, I wish I had known that a week ago when I was putting together your mix.  :)

Its a hard thing to do.  Listen to all these bands that is.  and if you are a purist and actually go out and buy the albums (what a concept!), there is a certain amount of fiscal committment involved.  There is also the sheer quantity of music old and new out there.  It can become a chore at times trying to track stuff down.  I know whenever I hear an older band, or a band that has been awhile and I just haven't heard, I often think "How come I've never listened to them before?"  I also do that with CDs in my collection that I listen to rarely.  I'll give it a whirl and remember how much I enjoy the CD and say "How come I don't listen to this more?"

My Aim Is True:
I was pretty much only thinking of old bands. I doubt anyone will give a shit about bands like Bloc Party in a year, and in three years no one will give a shit about The Arcade Fire.

Jawbreaker and Sonic Youth are a couple of the others that I've never really heard, except maybe in passing, despite having several friends who are in love with Sonic Youth.
