Antony and the Johnsons - heard of lots but never heard them / no opinion other than I suspect they might be overrated.

EDAN - I haven't listened to EDAN at length to form an opinion.

Quasimoto - I haven't listened to Quasimoto at length to form an opinion.

Parenthetical Girls - Among the very best, creative, and most lyrically clever twinkly melodic pop band ever.

Devendra Banhart - Not really a fan, but I recognize his crucialness.

CoCo Rosie - rich kid fakers ... way overrated.

Heroin - Literally changed the face of hardcore and saved until metalcore ruined it.

Swing Kids - decent first record, and fans who saw them live swear they were great, but they never enriched my life so much even when I was way deep into emo/HC 10 years ago.

never heard of any of them, except Anthony and the Johnsons.

Come out from under your rock, grunge boy.

I'm not a grunge boy. I just posted that topic because I thought it would make an interesting discussion.

I have also heard of Devendra Banhart.

I haven't had much time to look at really obscure artists lately.

What shite do you listen to?

to sum it up, anything I think sounds worthwile.

I've been listening to tons of 80's alternative and punk lately, along the lines of Butthole Surfers, Mission of Burma, Jesus and Mary Chain..etc. (had I not have been introduced to these bands, I most likely would have ended up being a grunge kid, but the kind that listens to Nickleback and all that crap).

My friend has introduced me to ESG, George Clinton, Dalek and NWA, all of which I think are really good (ESG in particular).

AHHH. That kind of shite.

yes, and you?

Better music than you.

those are the bands on your list I have heard, and they are all quite good (except Converge, which I hated at first)

I don't understand how you aren't under a rock.

I slowly getting there. But reading your posts, I am having a hard time believing you're fifteen.

As in I seem older or younger?

I mean, honestly, you haven't heard the Smiths? THE FUCKING SMITHS?

I can do without them all.

Edan is bad
so is Anthony and the Johnstons
