I still put in cracked rear view about once a month and groove to hootie

The only one I can think of is Tangerine Dream. Don't know why, I just love their music.

Yes! Huge TD fan back in the day and I still like their movie soundtracks (esp. "Thief" and "Sorcerer").

Electric Light Orchestra

In the 70's. My friends were into Abba, Bee Gees, and David Cassidy so I think ELO is still pretty cool compared to those...

Got a few that fall into this category:

New York Dolls
Velvet Underground
X (Previously mentioned on the other thread)
Sonic Youth
The Pixies
Joy Division

At least with my friends, they always thought my taste in music was more than a bit flawed.

I would have added the Surf Punks but at least a few of my friends liked them

I have a whole section of the store: Jazz Fusion. You really have to dig to find any either radio or performances.

Return to Forever
Weather Report
Yellowjackets
David Sandborn
Pat Metheny
Bela Fleck

I could go with Blues as well. Similar argument; no widespread popularity, but fantatsic music.

BINGO!!!  I was into "heavier rock" (or what is deemed "Classic Rock" now), but ELO was always GREAT to listen to.  My older sister had every album.  She got soooooo pizzed at me for touching HER albums.  Jeff Lynne was a great writer and singer, and the rest of the band, well, they were good, too.

Woot!!!  I have everything Pat Metheny ever recorded and have been to 3 of his concerts as well.  The years with Lyle Mays are the best.  Also have most of Bela Flecks bluegrass stuff, until he started with the Flecktones.

Add me to the list of Abba lovers.  And don't forget Yanni.

What, no Stooges? How about Fugazi?

No reason for shame here, that's probably the best list of bands I've seen posted here.

Your friends are musical morons.

Forgot about Chumbawamba.

I love the song, Tubthumping and I purposely put the lyrics here so that it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
p*ssing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times
"Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy..."
I get knocked down
But i get up again
You're never Goin to keep me down
p*ssing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times
"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down
We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

Oh yeah!  Jeff Lynne still can rock it.  ELO always had a great sound.  And I'll confess to Abba too...don't know why but most of their music keeps my toes tapping.

Toad The Wet Sprocket..  still my favorite band of all time..  nobody seems to agree with me though..

Another Toad the Wet Sprocket fan here...so you're really not alone.  They've just got some great songs!  I think I found them by mistake when I forgot to refuse the monthly selection from BMG.  Never regretted that.
