ITT well known bands that you like

[Skylark]

If I wear a Neutral Milk Hotel shirt to school I always get at least 10 things said to me about it, they're a well known band and they have a huge fan base. They're well  know.

Cat Power was in Juno for gods sake. Enough said.

Joy Division was a big band in the 70s and I heard them playing IN THE GAP. In the gap, COME ON.

Crass and Discharge are huge... Sorry if you're only window to punk is Hot Topic.

Leftover Crack is probably the least well know band on that list and they're pretty well known. So well known that they're not allowed into Canada..

Half of those bands (Neutral Milk Hotel, Cat Power, Joy Division) could easily be called well known, unless you're from Footloose.

I'm from footloose.

But skylark, those people commenting are indie fans, right? NMH is totally known in an indie crowd, but not an overall crowd. If you asked everyone in your school if they had heard of Neutral Milk Hotel, a lot would say they haven't.

I consider a band "well known" when it's a common name that everyone's heard, ie The Beatles, U2, Pink Floyd, Nirvana.

I think well-known and common knowledge are entirely different things.

What do you consider well-known?

[Skylark]

something that isn't a household name but isn't entirely underground.

[KonohaShinobi]

Maroon 5, Nirvana, Linkin Park (when they don't suck)

Boston is fucking incredible.

Styx...not so much.

None are mainstream which means they arn't well known. That is all.

There is a difference between main-stream and well known. And this thread asks for well known.
