Metaform? No idea if they are popular or underrated, but I like it...and I'm elite.

 

[EliteRetard]

'Corse there's some serious spoilers in these AMVs so maybe you shouldn't watch them (yet).

I like Fiona Apple. Very bluesy jazzy mixed with... well I don't know. Her style is unique.

 

[EliteRetard]

I ruined it didn't I?

Underrated or just obscure?

I think CKY is highly underrated. They're not gods or anything but I think their music doesn't get the credit it deserves. I think also they tend to get lumped in with Bam's CKY videos and Jackass instead of just the musicians they are.

CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings
CKY - Escape from Hellview
CKY - Afterworld
CKY - Imaginary Threats

Anything by People in Planes not sure what happened to them since they fell off the radar. Released two very solid albums was bummed that the group never made it. Appreciated that I was able to see them live numerous times.

These guys are impressive, and barely anybody knows about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjWNPWOxJlk

So I try not to go to the beach.

Nope, still don't get the reference.

I have a paper map, I'm not sure how old it is but I just found it.
For some reason it was in with my tax papers. I plan to put it in my car.

Oh and I'm going to take a nap now...I've been attempting to supplement my food with vitamins/minerals but it seems the lack of calories is making me lethargic.

I like Fiona Apple. Very bluesy jazzy mixed with... well I don't know. Her style is unique.

I loved her first 2 CDs done with Patrick Warren & Jon Brion who've also worked with Michael Penn and Aimee Mann. Her later stuff is more hit or miss for me.

Upright Citizens Brigade. It was a TV show in the 1990s.
They are from Chicago. They have a live theater in New York and their show continues to this day at the UCB theater.

One of their sketches was about a character "Little Donny", he was a kid who had a huge dangler, but was not aware of how huge his dangler was ...
So, he had a strap for when he want on his bicycle, so that it didn't get all tangled up in the gears/chain.

A foundation called the little Donny foundation, paid for him to go to a "titte brothers" concert.

Good calls on XTC and King's X. The under-appreciated angle always needs context. If I'm talking with my Dad, who was my main influence on musical tastes, I'm going to go far more obscure with a recommendation of under-appreciation.

If I'm talking with someone <~30, I'll throw out the Beach Boys, Jeff Beck, Mountain, Zappa, Beatles, The James Gang and others all day long. In my experience, those acts are not well represented with younger people.

To me this almost seems like a 'Post your favorite band that others might not have heard.' kind of thread. I apologize if that's not the case, but context is key.

My picks: Henrik Freischlader, Ry Cooder and Mike Doughty.
