| Artists I Love That You May Never Have Heard Of
These are some bands that I have not seen on sputnik (some of
which I have added) that I think are great. | | 1 | | Robbie Fulks
Alt country artist with great lyrics. Definitely not Nashville (see his song "Fuck This Town"). Semi-
famous for offering free merchandise to fans calling out Bryan Adams songs at Ryan Adams shows. | | 2 | | Royal Trux
In my humble opinion, ten years ago this band was doing what the White Stripes et al does now. | | 3 | | The Silos
Not all that obscure as they made Spin's "Alternative Record Guide." Don't know why they never made it
big. They're still living the dream. | | 4 | | Roscoe Holcomb
Not for all tastes, but this is real, and I mean REAL hillbilly music. | | 5 | | Johnny Dowd
Singer-songwriter with dark, dark songs but he has a sardonic sense of humor. If you like Tom Waits,
you'll like Johnny Dowd. | | 6 | | Sport Murphy
Leaders of the NYC punk band The Skels, Sport is now doing the Paul Westerberg-like singer songwriter
thing. Dense and complex music but worthwhile if you give it a chance. | | 7 |  | Hefner
The Fidelity Wars
Brit-pop band with great songwriting. "The Fidelity Wars" is the only "great" thing they've done, and
"Hymn For The Cigarette" goes on just about every mix CD I make. | | 8 | | Brenda Kahn
'80s NYC singer-songwriter with an edge. Apparently, she is selling real estate in the Lehigh Valley
(PA) and rarely performs. Shame. | | 9 | | Kimberely Rew
Ex-member of the Soft Boys, he has put out a couple of great solo Brit-pop CDs. | |

01.22.07 | Good guess, I've never heard of any of these | IsItLuck?
01.22.07 | yeah you're right, I don't know any of them.
your album ratings are rediculous. you rate the band rather than the album for the most part. | JumpTheF**kUp
01.22.07 | Nope, haven't heard of a single one. | Sepstrup
01.22.07 | I have a Hefner album on my PC. What do I win? | scheim
01.22.07 | For the record, I seriously consider every rating before I make it. There just happens to be a few groups that I think most things that they put out is trash. The Dave Matthews Band is one of them.
Also for the record, I know how to spell "ridiculous."
No prizes for the Hefner downloads, by the way; just wanted to give some exposure to some lesser-known artists. |
