From that era, The Mamas and the Papas and The Lovin' Spoonful. From the modern era (and more metal/hard rock) Darkest Hour, August Burns Red, Coheed and Cambria, Opeth, In Flames, Parkway Drive to name a few.

 

[WiseUp216]

The Pixies

Good answer!

 

[ControlD]

Rotting Christ
Dying Fetus

Questionable band names, some great albums. I imagine the names alone keep a fair amount of people from even considering a listen.

The Tubes

I may be biased but I totally agree. I was a young kid at the time, but my brother (and my sister and other brother to some extent) were OBSESSED with the Tubes in the 80s. I could sing you every song word for word from pretty much all their albums. It was pretty much all I heard growing up.

The Pixies

I'd say they are pretty "rated" and anyone who knows anything about music knows about The Pixies.

My 80s Tubes story. I went to see them at merriweather post pavilion and Todd Rundgren warmed up for them. So many people came to see Todd and then seemed a bit turned off by the theatrical show the Tubes put on. I have nothing against him, but it kindo ruined one of the most over the top shows I've ever seen.

Probably Cake. Most of their stuff never really went mainstream, even though it's really good.

LOL yeah - I watched a lot of VHS tapes my brother had of Tubes shows. They were CRAZY. It was just a huge production.

The Temptations. They had an influence for the last ~50 years on pretty much whatever music that you enjoy.
