Music snobs: songs/albums that are popular but nonetheless not bad
 

Some of us hold to the rule that if more than 3 people know about it, it sucks. What groups/albums are the exception?

I'd say most stuff by Interpol, The Gorillaz first album was great, oh and Last Splash by the Breeders

Fleetwood Mac, The Pretenders, Motorhead, Blondie... etc...

Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips (before the last album)

This is stupid, Sonic Youth is popular. The Velvet Underground is popular. Cat Power is popular. etc. If you mean mainstream success, then there are a lot.

I never get you indie kids. I like whatever rocks my boat, not what is trendy or is obscure. Some of it is, some of it isn't. Who cares enjoy music you BASTARDS!!!

Rolling Stones- most of it up to about 1975
The Misfits- all danzig era
Dr.Dre- 2001


Didn't Loveless reach the top 20 in the UK charts? Most music snobs dig that album.

Agreed.

Silverchair and Incubus are two mainstream bands which I dig.

And I like them for the reason which Synth stated.

Black Sabbath
White Zombie
Metallica
Primus
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains

I thought the whole premise of the thread was bands that you like that just happen to be mainstream? Because I've liked Modest Mouse when I first heard them years ago and I really dig this new album as well. Wouldn't this prove that obscurity/trend doesn't effect me? At least in regards to this band?

Because, you know, trying to one-up people in honesty/integrity is still oneupmanship.

I think that's a very odd rule.
