Rutlefan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So, what ONE band do you think has been most criminally overlooked/unnoticed/ignored by the masses, with video to make the case why others should check them out. My nomination: The Jazz Butcher/The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy. Here's an example from their middle period: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vQh8H1W2xA Honorable mention: The Church over the last decade and a half. I'd include Cinerama and Wire, but they get critical attention, if not sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 UFO is one that comes right to mind, but sadly I don't know how to post a video...... :( I loved UFO back in the day but lost track since. My older brother is the guitarist in the family and UFO holds a sort of mythic position in his pantheon of hard rock bands, alongside Van Halen. Oh, and to post a video, just bring up a You Tube video, highlight the web address, hit Control C, and then go to your post a hit Control V. You'll see the address which will become a video once you post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Khoma. Lacuna Coil. Bruce Spr...JOOOOOKE! But Khoma are, for me, the best band of our time that deals with melancholy and feelings. Better than Coldplay, more atmospheric than Muse, and I think preferable to Radiohead. As for Lacuna Coil, Cristina Scabbia has the most wonderful voice (self taught as well), and the band has excellent songwriting skills (the melodies and harmonies are addictive), and I think they are much more entertaining than the likes of Evanescence. I love them. My favourite band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I wish that Gentle Giant got more attention, but I wouldn't really expect many people to like them. They were very... different. Only oddballs/geniuses like Your_Lion and me seem to be fans. It's impossible to pick a single song that represents what they were all about, as they were about so many different things, but here's one that I love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8WiYHns8Os 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
