well you can't help that,i bet millions wished they played their favourite bands but it all boils down to popularity, celebrity status and record sales. a music channel's goal is to acheive and attract as many hits listening to their station, if it starts playing unkown songs it may dent the hit levels, i don't think MTV is doing it for the good of music (jackbutt,celebrity deathmatches and loads of flashy stuff)you can't blame them, my favourite unknown bands are stuf like cold play, radiohead and daft punk, well of course there not as far off as others but at least they have stuck to the plot,i also adore gorillaz and i know others would say aswell  |

One of my favorite non-mainsteam bands right now is a garage band called "Superchick" I have seen them in concert twice now, and they are pretty cool. Their cd is called Karoke Superstars. They are kinda pop, kinda rock, kinda techno, kinda a lot of stuff. Pretty neat. -eddo  |

for anyone who likes country, i recomend listening to a man named Anthony Smith. He has a cd out but it only has 4 songs. He migt have more cd's out now cause i got this one back in 96 i think? His song "Fly Me Away" is really good! And on top of all that he is a very talented black man... not trying to make a point of that, but its rare for country music... give him a listen!  |

I hate new music for the most part. There's a Texas band called "Brobdinagian Bards" and they play a mix of renaissance/celtic music. I love that stuff, and they are really funny. Also my cousin has a band in california, the Hellish Hounds. They play a lot of old school rock (very Metallica based). They write everything themselves and they are really good. My favorite is old Aerosmith though. and 80's Jon Bon Jovi.  |

OMG!!! Hey Dizzy...wanna experiment? Actually I love alot of these indie bands that get little or know recognition aside from some hardcore fans, but try downloading anything by Sunny Day Real Estate (newest Cd entitled "The Rising Tide" highlights: Rainsong, Snibe, Television) Well heck, anything by Sunny Day is great. If you like real crunchy grunge rock , try downloading anything off of Sebadoh's album "Bakesale" (highlights: "Not Too Amused" Liscense to Confuse" or "Careful" or try downloading the song by them called "Beautiful Friend" off of their album "Harmacy"... This next band sounds odd but if you like the sound of alternative country/hippie rock (like Phish... or reminiscent of the Grateful Dead) Download some music by The Jayhawks (highlights: "Take Me With You When You Go", "Waiting For the Sun", "Blue", "Over My Shoulder", "Crowded in the Wings" or some Scud Mountain Boys (I know-weird name, but don't let it detract from the music highlights: "Witchita Lineman", "Resevoir", "Deliver", "Peter Grave's Anatomy"...I know what you mean about the music on the radio...there is no variety whatsoever...I have TONS more recommendations, so if you ever get sick of what you are listening to, just PM me!!  |

Here are some bands I listen to that most people don't know who they are- The Dropkick Murphy's, Seven Mary Three, Mudhoney, Candlebox, Cowboy Mouth, The Butthole Surfers, The Presidents of the USA, Coal Chamber (who just came out with a new cd). Or sometimes I listen to old 60's and 70's bands like Strawberry Alarm Clock, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, The Clash, or the Sex Pistols, but only ocasionally because it's not metal enough for me. Here are a few others you might try The Misfits, White Zombie (since you like Rob Zombie), Bikini Kill, Violet Trip...  |

I love this rock band that plays covers, BUT they also do originals, and have a cd out. They used to be called Tango Palace, but just recently changed the name to sonixedge. They are very talented. I also like the band Off Kilter that plays at Epcot in WDW. They are a celtic rock band. Very unique.  |

While I can't name any that are not or were not mainstream, MY ULTIMATE, ALL TIME FAVORITE is John Coltrane. He never gets radio time, since it is older music. People my age do not understand my musical taste at all. I LOVE, Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Stray Cats, Elvis (Don't Laugh), and *Hangs Head In Shame* at one time, Milli Vanilli.  |

there are three bands that are kind of unknown by the masses;Ours, Rasputina and Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies. Ours has a saddened sound, Rasputina has a gothic/angelic sound and Me First is a cover band (punk). I've heard of Drain STH, they're all chicks from Sweden right? |
