<p>Okay summer is here and I am bored. Give me some good music ideas. Rate your personal top 5 bands. They don't have to be "undisovered," just not overplayed on the radio station. Nothing like Greenday, Metallica, etc.</p>
<p>My top 5: Motion City Soundtrack(Please check this band out they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G), Head Automatica(!), Something Corporate(well not undiscovered but a lot of people don't know them), The Decembrists, and The Caesars.</p>
<p>o and Louis XIV is great!</p>
<p>The Arcade Fire, Stars, Spoon, hot hot heat, bloc party, bright eyes, rilo kiley, kasabian, doves, gorillaz, the faint, lcd soundsystem...</p>
<p>the list kind of got away from me there.</p>
<p>I guess it just depends on what kind of radio stations you listen to.</p>
<p>here, head automatica is like OVERPLAYED!! over and over and over again in radio stations. that song i think is called beating my heart baby or something!
and bloc party and gorillaz are played wayyy too much also!</p>
<p>I don't really listen to this mellow rock(? dont think it's rock..hmm maybe i duno) genre but I'm starting to really love placebo! Yeah and I know that system of a down is like fully 'discovered' but loving their new stuff!</p>
<p>since when did Gorillaz become "undiscovered" :confused:
is it cuz they perform from behind a veil?</p>
<p>death cab for cutie/all-time quarterback/postal service
bloc party
Caesars
the skyflakes
damien rice</p>
<p>head automatica is overplayed?? Shock</p>
<p>well, it's like I said, it depends on where you are. The bands I listed above do get play but it's very minimal. To me they are not so undiscovered, to others they really may as well be. (if you take into consideration the bands Hoo listed) I was just throwing out a few recommendations.</p>

<p>i love aesop rock

<p>No doubt. Have you heard that new Common LP, Be? It's definitely classic, in my most humble opinion. It's a good blend of his styles, sans Electric Circus, and has some good hard-hitting (for Common) tracks blended with some more Resurrection-esque instrospection.</p>
<p>wilco and the arcade fire both suck. so do half the other TTT bands on this list.</p>
<p>Ouch. Negativity. You sound mean.</p>
<p>I'm very mean.</p>
<p>Fair enough.</p>
<p>no i havent, and i cant seem to find it on limewire.</p>
<p>An advance copy is leaked all over the internet. You can probably google it, or look through some bulletin boards.</p>
<p>***...wilco and arcade fire are pretty damn awesome...but like what you will.</p>
<p>You swore.</p>
