Kyuu Nye 425 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 So we all have music that we like, some of it is popular, and some of it you think people may have never heard of. Whether it be an old time classic that was lost to the sands of time, or an underground band that hasn't hit it big, we all have music that people simply don't seem to know about. The point of this thread is to link to videos, mp3 links or anything that you can find of music that you think is good or interesting and deserves more exposure. Now I'm not setting any ground rules except that it CANNOT be popular in AMERICA or JAPAN. I'm working under the assumption that most popular American music is pretty world renown, hitting charts if not topping charts globally, and most users here are already aware of a lot of the Japanese music that is popular through anime or other means (so yes, as much as it pains me, I won't be posting any B'z in here, we all know that they are the greatest* and most popular Japanese band of our time). SO! I shall start it off with a few songs that I don't think people here have heard or know about... Hiromi Uehara - The Tom & Jerry Show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRgByqWT3c0 Gogol Bordello - Through the Roof 'n' Underground Lets see some interesting/good music** DCW! Notes: *B'z awesomeness may be debated, but all debates will be ignored by the stating party **Not all music posted will be seen as interesting/good by all. But lets try anyway, yes? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarpetCrawler 280 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 The amount of great idea that is in this thread is ridiculously high. It has been stickied!! I'm gonna link to April Smith and the Great Picture Show. It's ridiculous how amazing April's voice is. Her most famous song is "Colors", and is actually a pretty decent ShinRan anthem. WELL worth a download, and it's a free one no less!!: http://www.spinner.c...rs-free-mp3-of/ One of my personal favorites is "Bright White Jackets". Can't find the album version unfortunately, so here's a live version: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarpetCrawler 280 Report post Posted October 6, 2011 Had the chance to listen to that Danimal Cannon song: 1. Castlevania III, so it wins automatically. 2. HOLY MOSES ... that was awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayomi 17 Report post Posted October 23, 2011 I doubt this is extremely popular... because people only like the movies and not the soundtracks xP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyuu Nye 425 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAOTCtW9v0M Symphony No. 9 is hardly a song for this thread... I love classical as much as the next guy, but this thread is for new discovery or drudging up old songs that were buried in time. Symphony No. 9 is a classic masterpiece, it was never forgotten and was never buried. If you want to show a rendition from a lesser known orchestra, then fine, but that is more for the orchestra than the song itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mia Ehru 11 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 Great thread indeed.. So.. I was listening to this song and thought it could be posted in here. Mumford & Sons is a folk-rock group from Brighton, South England. Although they're pretty well-known around their area, few people know about them internationally. I've been listening to them for about a year so far. Love them.. Hope you'll give a try to some of their songs. Here's one, not one of their hits, but in my opinion still worth listening to. Might like it, might not. Enjoy.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valkyrie 72 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 Never heard of him but there's another guitarist that you guys might not know. He is a rock guitarist but he is also known for his neo-classical playing approach in heavy metal music which became a new musical style in the early eighties. I love his guitar style. He created a special kind of guitar and I have one of them with his autograph. My favourite: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never met him so I won't know his personality. But, as a guitarist, I look up to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirite 23 Report post Posted February 19, 2012 The Weakerthans. A Canadian band, would that count as America? Not the greatest sound, but interesting and such lovely lyrics like poetry. They basically kept me afloat the first year I came to Canada all by myself with no friends and no money and barely enough food to last a week. Songs about cats singing about their depressed owners and roomates that have to split after years. And did you know love is a lot like curling? You can't go past or stay too far. http://youtu.be/iXMiPKBV17Q Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
