Thread: Your favorite, underrated band?

Wow, just listened to them and I have to say, you could not be more wrong.
Sure everyone will enjoy? Pretty sure only fans of awful early 2000s nu-metal will remotely enjoy what I hesitate to call their 'music'.

Also, new sound? Yeah, if you've been living under a rock for 8 years.

You clearly have a terrible taste in music.

Kyuss

As Josh Homme's main group Queens of the Stone Age continues to stray farther and farther away from their awesome roots, his first band will always kick ass. Birthed from the barren southwest, these desert punks continue to fill my speakers with their psychedelic brand of Sabbath-esque stoner rock.

Wellwater Conspiracy

What was initially a sideproject of a sideproject, Matt Cameron (Soundgarden) and John McBain (Monster Magnet) (and Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden for the first album) continued this neo-psychedelic band for over ten years. Album guests included Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Josh Homme (as mentioned above).

Earth

Earth was initially a drugged out, minimalistic drone doom band headed by Dylan Carlson, who most famously was a friend of Kurt Cobain and gave him the shotgun he used to commit suicide. After being absent for nearly a decade from the music scene, Carlson cleaned up and reformed Earth; still minimalistic as ever, but this time as a post rock (perhaps even "post country") outfit.

Enjoy your non folksy hip hop sorbriety douche.

Anti-alcoholic? Don't think so. Their music was used in a government ad but from what I know about the singer that would be a false statement.

Also, Yo La Tengo: Alternative Rock. In fact, most of their stuff is very noisy, heavily guitar based.

Also, Dry Cell: Pop band. In the same way Linkin park, Limp Bizkit and all the other bands who suck Interscope's cock are all pop bands.

Can I like metal? Yes, and I do. Probably a lot heavier stuff than you do. Y'know, stuff that's actually metal (not 'nu-metal' i.e. 'fag-metal').

Put aside Tool, Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Audioslave, Motorhead, Pantera, early Metallica etc. A band I forgot to mention before is SikTh (mostly because they've been consistently worse each time I've seen them live). As an example:


Then there's other heavy bands like Converge, Lightning Bolt, Yourcodenameis:Milo etc. who are all among my favourite 'underground' bands. I just picked a few of the things I'd been listening to heavily at the moment.

Bad bands are just bad bands.

Holy shit that was awful.

Also thanks to whoever mentioned Cannibal Corpse. I never heard them prior to this thread, and your reply sparked my interest. I youtubed I Cum Blood and, needless to say, that's the last time I will ever listen to Cannibal Corpse.

I can honestly say that is probably some of the worst music Ive heard in my life. Next to this local band called Destroyed by Fire.

I don't care for this song, but I support it. It's better than the shit MTV plays (or should I say doesn't play) these days.
