Kings of Leon are pretty well known but Black Keys? come on I dont think so....they havent even had an album on a major label yet, theyre not very well known.

well maybe by your country's standards. a band doesn't have to have released an album to be known, half of the shit that is in the top 40 is proof of that.

I was just saying that the average person has no idea who the Kings of Leon or Black Keys are. I know that people on a music board know them, but the average person won't. I bet if I asked 50 random people, less than a handfull could tell you anything about them.

yeah i guess, but i thought the title of the thread implied that their name just had to be known, not their bio. anyway, this is getting kinda silly, i was in a bit of a shitty mood last night, sorry for arguing with everyone!

Might be a stretch for some PJ fans but ........

Chris Whitley

(check out his website, http://www.chriswhitley.com)

Not a stretch at all....sweet, sweet voice.

Thanks for reminding me to pick something of his up. The song "Big Sky Country" alone is reason to know Chris Whitley.

PearlJam134

Dredg.... some might know symbol song but thats about it... technically amazing band... excellent sound... radiohead esque. Drummer pianos.

LedZepFan

I'm gonna add MC5, Supergrass, and Stereophonics to my list.

Chances are a lot of people on the boards will know those bands but overall, Ive rarely met someone who knew any of them and they all deserve more attention and credit than they get in the US these days.
