Name an artist/group that you are surprised isn't more popular.
-
Yeah, I'm still a fan of the group. Not too attached to their host.

I'll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn't catch on.
What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.
No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through.....ooohhmmmm....

https://youtu.be/DhQQseFcTGEGreta Van Fleet is my favorite rock band. It is a modern rock band inspired by rock songs from the past, like those of the 1970s. They create blues rock songs and hard rock songs about resilience in life, as well as a progressive rock song that discusses humanity's dependence on smartphone technologies. Other similar rock bands include Dirty Honey, with their heavy, relatable song "Won't Take Me Alive," which I believe is about difficult situations, and Rival Sons' "Nobody Wants To Die," which I interpret as expressing that despite hardship, we don't want to die but rather seek a solution to resolve the problems more quickly.

I'll have to check them out. I love rock, but I'm not familiar with the modern rock scene.

Refused, I found out about them cause they were the band who did all the Samurai songs in cyberpunk 2077 and even though they had a bit of a bump they're still really obscure
Now this is a band I should have known about. They remind me of Weezer, if Weezer was more hardcore. The melodic metal songs remind me of Evergreen Terrace.
New noise is great. The Shape of Punk to Come was awesome. This is the high energy rock, I need in my life. Thank you. -
I thought Chuck Ragan looked too hipster for me to enjoy, but Something May Catch Fire was good.
Now BOYSETSFIRE is my type of jam. I think rock isn't represented as well as it used to be..

Saul Williams did break through….. for a poet.
That is true. I don't know any other spoken word poet.

Fish in a Birdcage. I suppose I understand why they're not big, but their music is so eclectic, there's a little bit of something for everyone.
The Arcadian Wild feels like the perfect indie folk band.
I heard Drunk on Pride for Fish in a Birdcage. They remind me of that Franz Ferdinand band.
-
Oh'laville: https://www.youtube.com/@Ohlaville
Good band. I'm trying to learn Spanish so listening to Oh'laville will help.
El Diablo reminds me of Big Data.

The Neighborhood Kids. They're a small-ish rap group whose biggest song has a bit over quarter million streams on Spotify (Biddi Bomb). They're really interesting because they sound and feel like politically active 90s west coast rap. Great beats, great lyrics, and very creative.
A complete 180 from what tops the charts nowadays. Biddi bomb is their biggest song and is rap through and through, while Third World Problems feels RATM. I honestly hope they keep at it because I love what they're doing.
You described The Neighborhood Kids perfectly. I took a quick look into their music and I am enjoying it. Thanks. This is the type of music I need in my life.

A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. It's just 32 minutes long, but it's a god damn classic! My favorites on it are Stickup and Confrontation. The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can kind of hear at times, but I'd say he was meant for punk rock!
This group is great. I will add them to my playlist. They remind of Whole Wheat Bread.

Listening to Shutdown. I enjoy the melodic metal sound. Genius has more of a hype beat. I will add them to my workout mix.
-
Omg. I had never heard of Saul Williams. Adding him to my playlists. Thank you for this!
I heard this group before. I couldn't tell you where. Maybe a show or something. I enjoy the relaxed grove.
-
Destiny Potato.
I just checked out Destiny Potato. It feels like Sordid Pink is a more metal version or polished version. Either way, I enjoy the sound. Great songs. Thanks.
-
I would say Dry Cell, who had a fantastic full album and lots of great demo EPs, and by extension their split-off bands, such as Acrylic and Band With No Name.
I looked up Dry Cell, Acrylic, and Band With No Name. I'm thinking I didn't find the same bands that you did. The Dry Cell I found didn't look/sound like the Acrylic band and Band with No Name, that I found. Either way I enjoy music so thanks for the direction.

I don't know man. When I was younger you couldn't get me to listen to anything other than mainstream rock. But I came off a.stint of playing games like The Flame and The Flood, Hunt: Showdown, and of course Red Dead Redemption 2. And it just.....clocked for me. Now my Spotify can't tell if I love Grunge, Punk, or Folk.

Everything Everything
They've written some of my favourite albums over the past decade or so
At first I was just getting a movie, but I think I found them. Cold Reactor, Violent Sun and No Reptiles, and I Want a Love Like This are pretty good. The last one has a trippy video. Thanks.

JMSN.
He started out in the dreamy hazy r&b vibes of early weeknd, and now is more in the soul funk area.
He got a bit of hype on TikTok recently with his song Soft Spot, and him dancing in the music video for it. But dude is SO talented. Makes such good music. And is such a massive vibe.
I still listen to and watch his Blue Album stuff. He made old school homemade 90s R&B videos for all the songs on the album. And it’s SO good.
I love it. I need more music to dance to. Soft Spot had me thinking it was one type of song until he started dancing.
I don't even know what to think anymore, can you show me?

I haven't been playing the current AAA type games, so maybe that's why. I have friends that love RDR2 but I enjoy more of the indie games. I'm still waiting for Silk Song to come out.
