Music Banter - View Single Post - Big Name Bands You`ve Never Heard A Song By

Never heard, but have read articles by music journalists harping on about:

Grateful Dead (has anybody?)
Velvet Underground
The Ronettes
Nick Drake
The Mars Volta
The Yardbirds

Occasionally I hear a lot about a band/singer and the reputation is built up so much that when I finally hear the music it can be a bit disappointing. In the last few weeks I've heard music by Bloc Party and Tim Buckley for the first time and was a long way from being impressed. Best to hear music as soon as possible and get it out of your system!
