a few that were missed
one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen and they never got the recognition they deserved
Little Feat
known mostly by jazz community but they used to play around here a lot. Morse is now the guitarist for Deep Purple
Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs
I loved these women!
Betty Blowtorch
a song for today! just good metal
Metal Church
These are the songs that turned me onto MC…
They replaced the singer, David Wayne with Mike Howe…
Here’s another one from the vault: Crimson Glory
Filed under “went away way too quickly”:
These guys got just a blip on the radar before going away:
a few more.
Omar & The Howlers
North Mississippi Allstars
a truly great band from the early 70’s still around today
Wishbone Ash
Delbert McClinton

When you get a artist who is too well developed for its audience you get tool… Yes i am saying tool got way too trendy and subsequently flies waaay over the heads of most of their listeners.
Fuck it though since you threw a rap artist out I will too
Mr. El Producto might be the most developed hip-hop artist I’ve ever heard. Like I said though I’m comfortable with him where he is.
Same shit I said about the rappers applies here… but god knows if everyone who listened to music was an accomplished musician bands like this would dominate.
Maybe this is my broad appreciation of music fucking with my head but I think a band should sound like a classic music composition. The shit that gets passed off as music on the radio can’t begin to hold a candle to some of the great classical pieces or some contemporary bands like opeth.

I’ve seen both these dudes in concert. Bun B came out on stage during El-P’s show and shaved a mohawk in a dudes head who was doing a documentary on El-P [or underground rap, don’t remember] and Sage Francis jumped off the stage and punched some dude in the face who threw a piece of pizza at him. Both shows were pretty badass.
Led Zeppelin
Iced Earth
Head Dizzy in the 90’s, they are “Pets or Meat” now with a new sound and style.

Probably the biggest band currently touring that I feel fits in this category but some will say this one doesn’t belong here. They’ve been around for years but most people in America never heard of them before the XXX movie.
Gnarls Barkley.
I know “Crazy” got some play, but they have some great songs. I love Cee-lo Green’s voice. He can find that really primal deep blues/soul zone like few others but the blues roots masters. (IMO)
When I get around to forming my funk/blues jam band, I’m looking for Cee-lo.

They’re pretty awesome live, too.
MC 900 Ft Jesus
Presidents of the United States of America:
Not really sure if these guys flew under the radar on a national level or not since they definitely haven’t flown under the radar in the Bay Area, but Machinehead fucking rocks.

Opeth is a great band but they ruin it for me when they resort to the cookie monster voice.

Where is this band based? I had a friend in the 90’s with a band called Pet’s or Meat from Pontiac Michigan. The name is from the Micheal Moore film about GM in which a woman is selling rabbits, with a sign that says “pets or meat”

These guys ended up doing tracks for porno films. They had an album called “freaked out and small” that was really good.
