There have been a crap ton on great bands that never made a huge following,yet were complete badass musicians. Just for giggles,post some if you got em.

So yeah I'm bored.

Just for kicks.

My buddy supplied Sound Garden their 420, we would go down to this big warehouse on East Marginal way. They were always practicing there Not my taste of music though.

Your buddy is a drug dealer?

Still ? know idea.....this was back in the early 90's. Are you snooping on your neighbors today? That doesn't pay, a job would though. Are you ever going to get your [Bleeeeep!] together redhooktard?

I must be getting old, I have never heard of any of those bands.

GG Allin was a complete piece of sh!t with a micropenis. And I'm not a fan of most punk rock. Also Sol Duc Soundgarden was far from an underground band. Maybe back when they did Screaming Life.

I know, after wdfw posted that video of SG it just reminded me of going to hear them practice and doing some bizzness.

Love GBV. Robert Pollard is a songwriting machine.

Saw them live a few times. The shows where there were still sober enough to jump around were some of the best rock shows I've seen.

is Sonic Youth still considered underground?

The top 4 are all Classic Rock from the late 60's - 70's. Think Cream, Sabbath and Zep. In fact, Zep outright stole the opening stanza of Stairway from Spirit. Like lifted it bar for bar and note for note. Zep stole everything.

If you like that kind of music and the bands that made it big in the genre, you'll love those 4. Cactus being the best and most influential. Hell, Nirvana and Cobain credit Cactus as one of their main influencers. Cactus was THE band that should have made it BIG TIME. Enjoy.

I've always thought that Cream was underrated. They put out some good songs.

If you like Cactus, check out Jimi Hendrix's "Nine To the Universe", I believe it's the last great Hendrix album, most haven't heard of it. Jimi and Jim McCarty (guitarist for Cactus) do a number called the "Jim/Jimi Jam", unreal.More instrumentals, shows the direction Jimi was heading. What a loss!
I saw Cactus right after the big personal change (lost Jim McCarty and Carmen Appice), we had bought tickets before the change. Really bad performance, just went through the motions. Saw Spirit on the 12 Dreams tour, really great songs,real bad sound. Most shows back then tended to be hit or miss as far as great sound, early Blue Oyster Cult shows(think 1st 3 albums) were really good sounding, though. Bob R

Damn Bob - that makes me kinda jealous. Too bad the shows sucked, but at least you can say you were there! I'll check out that Jimi record and add it to the collection. I have most all of his works in stock, but I don't have that one. Thanks for the tip.

Sol - Cream underrated? Do you live under a rock? They were the GODS of rock until Jimi went over to the UK and showed em' how it was done (poor Eric didn't know what hit him). Remember, this was when the Beatles got all the press.

Cream is, hands down, the best power trio of all time. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were the best of the best at their respective roles. Clapton gets all the glory, but Ginger made the band. His jazz influence and odd timings on a small kit were second to none. Hard choice between Ginger, Bonham or Bill Ward (Sabbath) as the best rock drummers of all time. Neil Peart can suck it.

Listen closely to Ginger's small kit on White Room. Nobody was doing these jazz beats back then.

I'm talking about presently, not during their run.
