Alghazanth, Kivimetsän Druidi, Korpiklaani, Finntroll [although I'm not sure that you'd classify those two as not very well known, it seems as if a lot of people know about them, at least more than I thought], Hateform, Into Eternity, Altaria, Amoral, and Ultimatium.
I haven't heard many people talk about these bands, though they're all good, in my opinion. You should check them out.
Post some bands that you wouldn't expect or don't think people know about.
No one I know in real life listens to any of my favorite bands. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to meet a Captain Beefheart fan face-to-face, with the exception of my dad.

Taste. Although actually, Rory Gallagher on his own is better than his material with Taste. Either way, nobody except me listens to Rory Gallagher and I'm sick of it. :|
Also...
Iron Butterfly
Jackson Browne
Warren Zevon
Strawberry Alarm Clock

I'm sure plenty of people have, but I think I might be the only person who listens to some of their other work too.

I hate Lamb of God. All the metalheads at my school love them. I like Pantera, though.

Oh, gotcha. I don't even like In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, I think their album Heavy is much better.

as i said before: you'd have to be like fifty to know them, or one of us. i bet i'd find less than five fans of them if i asked everyone in my school about them.

Maybe you just need to accept that teenagers have bad taste in music.

since when have i not accepted this
the point is, not much people have even heard of those. really, no one gives a fuck. you see so much people with pink floyd shirts, but how many of them own meddle?

you don't have to be a fan to own meddle considering meddle isn't particularly amazing and is only like their 4th best album if that

what i meant was, how much of them are really big fans of floyd? how many know more than dark side of the moon, another brick in the wall, and the album titles of wish you were here and animals?

i think animals and wywh are relatively unknown to those teens that basically just listen to the singles from the wall and dsotm
meddle even more so
try asking them about momentary lapse of reason and lol
or atom heart mother, maybe the piper at the gates of dawn. and they likely are at least aware of what wish you were here means, there's a good chance they've heard the title track.
that's a good idea, next time i see a kid in a floyd shirt who don't look like a floyd fan, i'll say "hey, do you like the piper at the gates of dawn?"
ask them about ummagumma baddood;

a lot of them don't understand that the wall is a metaphor and don't know what the meaning is.

They are. They have an album out and are touring. I wanna see them just to see how they go from a cartoon where one guy does all the music to a touring band like that, and because Gene Hoglan plays drums on the album and he's pretty much one of the greatest drummers ever.
Too bad the opening bands are just shitty metal/death core.
