Name One Band The World Should Know About



I'm stuck between Between the Buried and Me, and Animals as Leaders. If more people would push music as far as these guys do, we'd probably have more intellectuals and less retards.
 
Come on, everyone and their mom knows about Muse.

As for me, lately I've been getting into the epic sounding industrial / electronic German 2 piece known as VNV Nation.

Here are some completely random & totally unofficial videos.

Go street team, go! Who cares if they've sold like 10 million albums, we need to help Muse!

Here's a sand sclupture of the Jackson 5 :

My tribute to THE WILDHEARTS

Alright, you asked for it.. :)

Well - everyone probably knows I'm a huge fan of Dream Theater. But they're fairly well known so they don't count here. Another highly underrated band is W.A.S.P., but again - they're well known.

Which brings me to a band you guys probably haven't heard of:

The Wildhearts !!11one
They. Fucking. Rock. Period.

It's the most underrated, best-rock-band-you-have-never-heard-of, musically talented hard rock/prog-punk band you'll ever hear.

Musically I guess they're a blend of Green Day, Motley Crue, Kiss, and Clash. Their songs are usually drenched in catchy riffs, epic choruses, and songs you catch yourself humming in your head all day long.

Here are just some of their butt-kickin' anthems:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plBna98XZNQ"]YouTube - The Wildhearts - Suckerpunch[/ame]

Nevermind these cheesy videos from the early 90's. Just close your eyes and listen! :)

Give some of these songs a listen. If you're into good ol' straight hard rock, I guarantee you'll like them.
 
Besides the already mainstream Muse and MGMT, I only see Wildhearts at having any chance to get popular.

Ordered my first guitar yesterday and was browsing youtube for acoustic inspiration, I stumbled across these yesterday.

Youtube randomness begin,
