I thought this would be fun to do. List all the bands who you're absolutely sure you are the only one who listens to them. Bands you've seen in concert or on TV don't count. It'd be interesting to see if there is anybody out there who listens to them too. Okay, so here are mine:

Scorn
Richard H. Kirk

I'm at work so I can't exactly browse through my CD collection - those two were the only ones I could get off the top of my head. Anyhow this should get things started.

The Redemption Song
Blind Winter

Pig
Sow (yes, they're related, but vaguely)
Jack Off Jill
Tweaker

OMCreator
Robad Pills
NiTRiX
Muter
Noize Punishment
Sumomo
CDR (RdeC)
7e Phalanx
Atomly
The Smile Adventure
Nemo
Beginning Algebra
Deathbomb
Scottfro
Shatterbreak
The Flashbulb
Komputer Kontroller
Logan 7
Smashing Werewolf and the CrapBarfs
Vector Induced Disease

Vrenna's band? Lots of NIN fans listen to Tweaker.

I can say that I've also had the displeasure of hearing Jack Off Jill, but I don't listen to them regularly so I donno if that counts...

Anyway, only bands that I listen to that no one else listens to are probably Morta Skuld and The Haunted.

In Flames
Children of Bodom
Frank Zappa
Zakk Wylde

$anitariuM Wrote: In Flames Children of Bodom

Give metal a little more credit than that man, I'm one of quite a few people here who know both of those bands

I got bored of them I must admit, thouigh. In Flames haven't written a good song in years IMO, Soundtrack is the worst album ever written by a band who were once really good melodic death. And CoB I simply got bored of, Alexi needs to do something different from time to time. I know the other 2 aswell, not to say I like them, lol.

Anyways, I can't be sure, but -

Violent Work of Art
Winter Reign
Poisonblack
Beyond The Embrace (which is a shame)
Gardenian
Into Eternity
All That Remains (they should be getting more recognition too)

Lots of stuff I listen to that I'm sure nobody knows (being hugely into the local scene, I could ramble forever about bands nobody else has heard of), but those are the only ones worth mentioning that write decent music (extremely good music in some of their cases).

Edit - Oh, and Foahchon - I not only own a Haunted long sleeve shirt, I've seen them in concert. It's funny that they've won a Swedish grammy (or the equivelant of, anyway), yet you were still right to assume nobody has heard of them. I'm just an odd case

True, but I've not been fortunate enough to meet a single NIN fan who does. And I don't frequent NIN messageboards.

Hard Resistance
Cock Sparrer
Beltones
Anti Flag
Troopers

I know Camel_Kid listens to Subway to Sally, and I've corrupted Crow with quite a few, as well. Either way.

And One
ASP
Dir en Grey
Unheilig
Colony 5
Assemblage 23
Paradise Lost
Zeromancer
Lacrimosa
Funker Vogt
VNV Nation
Apoptygma Berzerk
Diorama
DeVision

That's all I can think of.....

Vandenberg (Listen to Burning Heart for great solo)

Rough Cutt (You must listen to their ver. of Piece of My Heart)

Vendetta (Hair Metal with a black lead singer, very good song called Babylon Rocks)

Kick Ax (Get On The Road To Rock is all I can say)

OK GO (Get Over It)

BTW there was a band from the 80s or early 90s, that in their video were kinna dressed like Nazis, and they break into a private school with a tank, and turn the girls to rockers? Can anyone tell me who they are, I don't remember the song either, but it ruled.

Haha... No idea, I just thought I'd post and say that sounds like a pretty cool clip. No idea what the hell the message to the clip is though, if there even is one that is.

I've heard of Jack of Jill...must say Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers was enjoyable, but Sexless Demons and Scars sucked.

Rasputina
Gary Jules
Scarling.
Hungry Lucy

I know about half of those... haha...

Dunno why I didn't see this thread earlier...

The Kovenant
The Berzerker
Khold
Bloody Anal Yeast Infection
Nihil
Face to Face
MDP
Klank
Deasdy

Everything else I listen to is below the mainstream radar, but well known enough that the average metalhead recognizes the name.

Holla!

First I wanna apologize for my double post to start this thread - I was trying to change the name. Hyuga, I was just about to say Dieselboy! You beat me to it. Now that I'm home and can look through my collection here are some others you all might not know:

Chemlab
Coil
Die Warzau
Front Line Assembly
Strange Boutique
Swervedriver

I'm impressed by all of your sonic knowledge. Keep 'em coming!

Go buy his new CD. Like, now.

Why are you still reading this? You should be on your way to buy it right now.


Seriously though, I was pissed that I missed him the other week. He was like 15 minutes from my house, but I only found out about it like 5 minutes before it started.

I don't think alot of people here listen to Tiesto. Although he is one of the biggest DJ's in the world...

Tiesto - Flight 643 (Paul B + Subwave Remix)

It's on the new Dieselboy CD we were talking about earlier.
