Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Just discovered an old band the other day that I'd never heard of: Status Quo. Which got me to thinking which band do you think people would like that you think they'd never have heard of?
Chef Jim Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 How could I consider them the best band if I've never heard of them? I don't know. I still haven't heard of 'em. you!
DC Tom Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Good call. Those guys are awesome. Then they would be the best band I've never heard of. Except now I've heard of them. Thanks to you. Thread's ruined for me, now.
PromoTheRobot Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Porcupine Tree. Wire. The Stranglers.
Chef Jim Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Then they would be the best band I've never heard of. . No they are my best band you've never heard of and I don't think that's what Joe was looking for.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Supertramp ??? I having a hard time trying to fathom & wrapping my tiny brain around this. Maybe I am just getting old. They were a super group of the 1970's and into the '80s. Who hasn't at least heard of Supertramp. It would be like saying my son never heard Bing Crosby or who he is. I know Supertramp was before many a Millenial's time, but the group just too monolithic to make this list. For crying out loud, their instrumental versions of their songs are played in the grocery store (supermarket if you will... ). Edited February 27, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois
Hammered a Lot Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I don't know. I still haven't heard of 'em. Silence band

You haven't lived until you've heard the Muzak version of Goodbye Stranger in the produce aisle!
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) You haven't lived until you've heard the Muzak version of Goodbye Stranger in the produce aisle!Ah! LMAO! I was specifically thinkin about that damn instrumental to "Breakfast in America" while cruising the gluttonous selection in the cereal aisle... The juxtaposing of those two events is mindboggling, even w/my pea brain! LoL!!!! Hum along w/me: "Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got Not much of a girlfriend Never seem to get a lot Take a jumbo across the water Like to see America See the girls in California I'm hoping it's going to come true But there's not a lot I can do Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear They got to have 'em in Texas Cos everyone's a millionaire..." :-) Edited February 28, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois

Back in the day, Supertramp was on the radio call-in show Rockline a few times and twice I called in and got to talk to them and ask questions. Then in 1997-ish I saw Roger Hodgson at the Tralf in Buffalo. Got to meet him after the show and then went up to the balcony area and talked with his son Andrew for a bit. I first got into Supertramp in 1974-ish when Crime of the Century came out; my sister played that album non-stop during a time when I was reading "Helter Skelter" - the book about Charles Manson's murders of Sharon Tate and others. Pretty disturbing book to read while listening to that particular album. I was 15 at the time!

I find myself digging deep into the Supertramp collection!
