Top Bands That Became Famous Overnight

Oh, and about Mayhem, yes there was a murder. And some churchburnings, and possibly cannibalism. I don't really know what you mean by getting "big", since that was pretty much against what they stood for, but they have had a huge influence on black metal and are still going at it. I think their lineup is completely different from what it was in the beginning.

Airbourne. They came outta nowhere and now are one of the toasts of the Metal town.

Honestly there's some stuff that Pitchfork reviews that is very obscure or new, and then all of a sudden there's a 7.5 review or best new music review on Pitchfork and everyone and their mother is listening to it. Of course it's not completely overnight, but it could definitely appear that way if you don't follow the type of music they review much.

I was simply trying to get an idea about it. I realize most of the time it is a perception that a group blows up over night, yet in reality they didnt. Thanks guys!

Panic! at the Disco.

Pete Wentz found their myspace and signed them BEFORE THEY EVEN PLAYED A SINGLE SHOW

Well she's not quite that famous yet but I think that everyone will hear a lot about Alexa Ray Joel. She's very talented!
