anahata is hot. my favorite jo44 jam.

10/21/2006 11:02:38 AM

and come on, people. braid is/was totally appreciated by quite a lot of people. it isn't 1996 anymore, and hey mercedes and the firebird band are making people puke, but braid still gets respect...just not by a lot of the people who actually used to listen to them. emo backlash.

i liked that song were they said "please drive faster" maybe that was the song title but I got it off napster back in the day so who knows.

oh also the Dead C and every New Zealand band.

Okay, since no one seems to understand this thread, and since someone EDITED OUT where I wrote "must have at least 3 platinum albums" so they could post their shitty indy bands, here goes:

This thread is for bands/artists/groups who were commercially and/or critically successfull in the past, but nowadays no one in popular culture seems to recognize as being an important band/artist/group.

Example being: New Edition.

10/21/2006 8:02:18 PM

Ah, now I understand. Three platinum albums is a pretty big requirement, but I'll say

Three Time One Minus One

10/21/2006 8:09:37 PM

well if thats the case then anyone could call bullshit on anything listed.

for example

i called bullshit on Faith No More.

10/21/2006 8:12:19 PM

Velvet Underground
Velvet Monkeys

10/21/2006 8:39:45 PM

I think the mere fact that Gronke's criteria are so narrow that the first band coming to kind that meets them all is New Edition says enough by itself.

10/21/2006 8:47:26 PM

...Hawthorne Heights..
