Latest Lists

If a band is not the standard, generic band from the mainstream, they are considered obsecure?

Just a little observation of mine. This cycle seems to be a miss or miss system to me. If I were to put together a list (something that seems to be a running tradition here, yet not something I would do) of "greatest" bands and inducted the usual suspects into the list, in theory, is no new news, so to speak, a daily list that people are bored of. On the flipside of the coin, if I were to create a list of bands who rarely appear on these oh-so-popular lists, then my list is out there...am I missing the whole concept of what people complain about? I personally, beg to differ, the whole argument to me is one big contradiction, what is your perspective on the topic?

1. ill agree with that its mainstream or nothing. it made me sick and I stopped listening to the crap when I was 11. been 8 years never looked back, I listen to prog rock / prog metal ie. pink floyd dream theater queensryche opeth fates warning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teZbA14ZSTA&feature=related glass prison pt 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kFXpQBqRfU&feature=related glass prison pt 2. by dream theater
2. I think it depends on where you live. If you're in a social environment where everyone around you loves jazz, then they may not have heard of many rock bands. I have a distinct taste in music but within those limits, there is a huge range of what I like. I'd be interested to see you list though! Hope I helped!
3. Considering that I live in a very musical place, I'd say that there's actually a large proportion of people who have heard of all the underground/obscure metal I listen to, so there's a fine line between unusual and obscure.
