Your underrated bands/artists? - Page 2

~~Leo656~~ · 01-29-2015, 09:01 PM

It's tough because there's also a lot of really successful bands that still make good music, but are past their "Hipness" expiration date, so it becomes cool to hate on them, despite the fact they're still really good, just "different" from how they were when it was "cool" to like them. It's like you're only "allowed" to like a band for about three years or two albums, whichever comes first, after that "They Suck".

So I'd argue that even bands that have reached a certain level of acclaim can be underrated, simply because everything they do past a certain point is automatically dismissed by most people. "Are they still around? GOD, they should just hang it up. The fact that I personally haven't heard of them since (Name Of Their Biggest Record) means they really must have gone to sh*t."

In fact i would say most of the greatest musicians around today are much less in the public eye and are certainly not celebrities.

Cool.

didnt realise an intelligent reply would be met with such disdain

i shall move my musings back to my own mind

Michael-Andrew-lo · 01-31-2015, 09:35 PM

probably should have written an ill informed reply of novice understanding of the gravitas of such an enormously communicative force such as music to make myself seem more..... RAD? to fit in?

dammit... i thought a tmnt forum would be a little more....easy going

is this too ironic or sarcastic to seem funny , or am i literally being offensive?

even i dont know anymore

*Powder* · 01-31-2015, 09:39 PM

I have no idea where you're going with this but nobody was trying to hurt your feelings or anything, dude. Not every reply gets acknowledged, they don't always have to be. That's not a personal thing by any means. I'm a dude with 16k posts & I'm sure a quarter or more of them were me stating my opinion & going on my merry way. Such is the nature of forums. Did you make valid points? Sure! But others have too. It becomes reiteration at a point, you know? Take it easy, brotha man.

Michael-Andrew-lo · 01-31-2015, 09:52 PM

its cool, i will stick to just making deals/friends privately than conversing publicly. have fun!

no animosity intended

Not sure if they qualify as "underrated", but I think Fireflight are pretty good.

I didn't realize a reply without capitals and other grammatical issues could still be intelligent.
I humbly accept this new knowledge.

Pretty much everyone I know and anyone who only listens to what's in the charts.

I'm glad you think so.

There's a band called Seven Sermons which I think is underrated; they're a local Australian band who sound very similar to Tool. If you Google around, you can find their EP, and they have two music videos up on Youtube.

I think Bressie and Nicola Roberts are underrated singers.

Just a few groups/artists I think who deserves more. The radio channels play only one song of them in a year!
