Ed_S Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I’m quite happy that somebody else has heard of House of Lords! ...but I think the only band I’d be willing to buy a CD from without hearing it first is Amorphis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would say Tool, but given that rounds out to three purchases in twenty years it is hardly a big commitment. At the moment: - High on Fire; - Mastodon - Inter Arma - Yob - Karnivool (though on the basis of the Tool comment above) - Metallica, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, The Cult, Baroness (out of habit rather than devotion); - Red Fang - Summoner - Graveyard - Lowrider - Truckfighters (though now on hiatus-ish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassedinBucks Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I think I need to get out more! I haven't heard of the majority of these bands, and that's the problem with working from home, I had a very enjoyable few hours pasting the names into You Tube to have a listen and there are some great bands listed that I have made a note of. Thanks all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I don't buy so much now so essential purchase bands would be Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, XTC (reissue series). In the unlikely event of new product, I'd extend this to Ludo, Charlie Sexton, Tears For Fears, Jellyfish, Stevie Salas/Colorcode, 3 Colours Red.

stewblack Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Oh God. I just realised my favouritest band right now, Lake Street Dive is not on my list. I think I will put Tadeschi Trucks and Cory Wong on it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Illuminati trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and someone else who's name escapes me right now. Somewhere about half way through the third volume, there is a long list of all the (made-up) bands that are going to play at a festival. Reading the lists of people's bands who's music they always buy reminds me of this list - great names but complete fiction. Come on, admit it, most of you are making up these band names, aren't you?

I really don't have enough spare time to go through the entire thread and pick them out. I don't really thing they are made up, but the lists of names I have never heard of has a very similar to that of reading the lists in the trilogy. Quite a few of the band names in the book would make good names in the 'real world' as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
