a couple of late lamented scottish bands:

The Yummy Fur (including members of Franz Ferdinand, split in early 2000's. check out Male Shadow at Three O Clock)

The Delgados (Hate is a great album)

Can have a solid little fanbase, but outside that fanbase no one really pays attention to them, or even know who they are.

Oh yeah, and Glenn Branca is underrated.

blots · 03.25.2006, 08:31 PM

Crass and pretty much the whole Crass Records/Anarcho-Punk scene that grew around them. The Mob, Rudimentary Peni, Amebix, Poison Girls, Zounds, etc.

One band completely ignored is Flowers in the Dustbin, who've recently had a myspace made up: http://www.myspace.com/fitd. The first song is one of their new ones, it's not bad but I would recommend the others first. Also, they've also put their entire discography up for download on their website: http://www.flowersinthedustbin.co.uk, I would probably recommend "Freaks Run Wild in the Disco" as a starting point.

SADUS (pioneers of death metal), PRONG (pioneers of industrial metal), CORONER (pioneers of something that wasn't metal enough for the average metalhead but surely makes me feel good everytime i listen to GRIN)
COCTEAU TWINS, BLONDE REDHEAD, SMALL WHITE... heck, RECS OF THE FLESH

RockerNino · 03.26.2006, 12:26 AM

In my opinion:

The Kinks
Neutral Milk Hotel
the Descendents
Unwound
The Wrens
Olivia Tremor Control

porkmarras · 03.26.2006, 01:02 AM

godflesh
techno animal

_slavo_ · 03.26.2006, 06:40 AM

maybe also:

Ida, Shipping News, Idaho, Francois Breut, Disco Inferno and Girls Against Boys.

And of course the mighty japanese CORNELIUS!

shentov · 03.26.2006, 06:48 AM

my band is pretty underrated here in Bulgaria. these kids want only metal, and catchy punkish shit.

Onani Nic · 03.26.2006, 08:02 AM

pere ubu
neu

Signpost · 03.26.2006, 03:29 PM

Woody Guthrie

Guest Informant · 03.26.2006, 04:05 PM

...and another vote here for the mighty POLVO.

And Pere Ubu, Thinking Fellers Union and Fly Ashtray.

Hip Priest · 03.26.2006, 07:08 PM

Good call on Pere Ubu, and good username.

Public Image Limited. Way better than the pistols, way less respect.

FruitLoop · 03.27.2006, 10:21 AM

Yeah I'll second Pere Ubu also, though the only cd i have from them is Apocalypse Now (it's live, btw).

But my vote would go to Jaga Jazzist.... these guys churn out some awesome complex music that always sound good, miles away from that crappy electronic jazz of a few years ago.

And I'd say Darkthrone too, just to add some classic black metal to the list....

Hip Priest · 03.27.2006, 10:26 AM

I've got one, a very good one indeed in my opinion, how I forgot them I don't know.

Gomez. I appreciate they might not be alternative enough for some of the tastes here, but they've done four studio LP's, all good. They experiment in their own way and have written a lot of excellent songs. Three different vocalists helps make them intersting too. Songs like Here Comes the Breeze, Revolutionary Kind, Shot Shot, Drench, Where ya Going? and many more dhould not be neglected the way that they are!

Inhuman · 03.27.2006, 11:52 AM

Muffler Crunch

I prefer them waayyyy more than Against Me!

duosonic · 03.27.2006, 12:29 PM

Agree on PiL. The first 5 albums (including Commercial Zone) are gold.

For me, add: Curve, Essential Logic, Severed Heads, Lush, Cocteau Twins, The Fall, My Bloody Valentine, TISM, Spizz, The Chameleons (UK), The Pop Group, Go Betweens, Devo, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult....

I could go on and on, so I'll stop there and won't bore you.

oh no no no. Gomez really are one of my all time pet hates, a bunch of oxbridge stoners who sing with stupid fucking voices.
