    Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.
    I'm not trying to sound pretentious or overly individual and whatever, but there are some artists/bands out there that really deserve to have more publicity than the music from like Ke$ha and **** like that that in the charts, not saying the chart songs aren't good, but there are some hidden gems that need more attention!

    Elbow are sooo underrated. Their music is innovative but moving and their lyrics are deeply poetic.
    Also Them Crooked Vultures deserve more credit. John Paul Jones' crazy cool sounds really add to some great new music that pretty much stands independent of any other genre or trend of rock.

    oh yeah.. I went by them playing during a festival..xD too bad not many were watching and I was only walking by to go to a different stage to see a Swedish girl play..dont remember her name but she was good too, but she only plays in Swedish so no help here..

    but there is already a thread about this :/ cant u look for it before making a new one? because otherwise it just becomes redundant

    Canterbury - their debut album is free, just google "Canterbury thank you" they have just finished touring with You me at six so they'll start becoming more popular soon.
