My mistake, in that case I guess some people do, seeing as I seen a poll on metal being the best genre, with no other options. :rolleyes:

Check out Noxagt (Dirty Three meets Jah Wobble on speed) or Supersilent (mental jazz-improv). OK the latter have done 6 albums but most people don't know them!

Here's a few I've been listening to

TV on the Radio
Mercury Rev
Victory At Sea
Blonde Redhead
Trembling Blue Stars
Shellac
Broken Social Scene (don't get thrown off my cheesy name)
AM/FM
Xiu Xiu
Deerhoof
The Silent League

Funny you should say that , somebody had been telling me about them for ages & the name put me off , then about 6 months ago I gave in & got the album & it`s really good.

Yeah, they're a perfect example of a great band with a terrible name. All I know is, somewhere there's an angst-filled nu metal outfit that is very disappointed that the name is already taken.

I had them down as a ****ty emo band myself

silent leagure are really good. keep on mentiomning this band..anyhoo..ampop are good.
cassette for cassette
pale faced princess

pierre henry
constantines
art of fighting
glassfactory
the nightjars
gemma ray ritual
zoe konez
vincent vince & the villians

No way... I did exactly the same thing as you and Hookers. The name pissed me off so I didn't wanna go see them, then I eventually heard the album and kicked myself. Hard.

I have been listening to

The Apples in Stereo
The Engineers
Holly Golightly
Deerhoof
Shellac
Patrick Wolf
Nurse With Wound
Papa M
Juana Molina
Six Organs of Admittance
Coco Rosie
Jandek
Maher Shalal Hash Baz
and Orange Juice, for nostalgia

I like these guys.

You guys gave me lots of bands to check out
