Bands that should have been bigger

[Danimal]

Dream Theater's musicianship is ridiculous, always thought they deserved more props.

I know I'm going to get beat up for this, but I have a couple reasons...

Def Leppard

I know they sold a ton of records when they released Pyromania, but imagine this.

Think about if Rick Allen doesn't lose his arm on New Years Eve 84. Think about if Steve Clark doesn't drink himself to death.

I like their older stuff. Everything after Hysteria is pretty much crap though.

Rick Allen has always been one my favorite drummers.

I'm starting to wonder if they are some sort of "gateway drug".

They were one of my Niece's favourite bands back when she was in college, but lately she's been going on facebook being all excited about taking her kids to see some really awfull band? called Maroon 5..Even mentioning one of the members by name and how "dreamy he is".

My oldest son likes Maroon 5. Don't know why he always went for that type of music. I still when i hear the name Back Street Boys. He loved that band. No, he ain't gay.

When my 12 year old Son found out my niece was taking her 14 year old Son to see Maroon5..He mentioned something about being embarrassed he knew who they were and that one of their songs was playing at a shoe store he pulled me out of to protect my sensitive ears..He also suggested I unfriend her on facebook..

I actually tried scaring him at Zia Records by pretending to buy a Backstreet Boys cd last weekend..He didn't even know who they were..I quess when it comes down to it..I couldn't name or recognize any of their songs...

Corrosion of Conformity and Sevendust

C.O.C had two good songs. I really tried to like them more. They weren't that talented.

which two songs?

I say 3 songs. Albatross, Clean My Wounds, and Congratulations Song. The rest of those two albums are meh.

Then you obviously haven't listened to "Blind" or the latest one...

Nope. Haven't heard anything from them in a long time, gave up on em after the America's Volume Dealer disc.

INXS

INXS was big, so they don't count?

Maybe...But they could have been bigger if Michael Hutchence didn't off himself.

Didn't he "David Carradine" himself?

Sounds like that's what the newspapers wanted it to be... http://www.news.com.au/news/what-happened-in-room-524/story-fna7dq6e-1111114682188

...at 11.50am an unsuspecting chambermaid pushed her cleaning trolley down the hushed, carpeted corridor of the 5th floor and arrived outside 524 to make up the room. Her knocks on the door went unanswered. When she tried to open the door she found it jammed, and needed to push with all her might to move it. Hutchence was lying naked on the floor, dead. Clothes were scattered around the room and his bed was half-made.The coroner's report said he had been kneeling against the door with a leather belt nearby. In the room was a Becloforte ventolin inhaler, along with Nurofen painkillers, Zoviorax 200 tablets, Prozac capsules, and other pills.

Police said a leather belt was found inside the room but there were "no suspicious circumstances", which is police-speak for suicide. Hutchence, stressed and depressed by the news from London and further affected by alcohol and drugs (both prescription and the other variety) had been pushed over the edge.

The report from the New South Wales Coroner, Derrick Hand, stated: "He had apparently hanged himself with his own belt and the buckle broke away and his body was found kneeling on the floor and facing the door."

Rumours that an extravagant autoerotic stunt had gone horribly wrong were scotched, much to the annoyance of the tabloid press because it would have made a far juicier story.

The coroner's report continued: "An analysis report of the deceased's blood indicates the presence of alcohol, cocaine, Prozac and other prescription drugs.

"On consideration of the entirety of the evidence gathered I am satisfied that the deceased was in a severe depressed state on the morning of the 22nd November, 1997, due to a number of factors, including the relationship with Paula Yates and the pressure of the on-going dispute with Sir Robert Geldof, combined with the effects of the substances that he had ingested at that time.

"As indicated I am satisfied that the deceased intended and did take his own life," said the coroner.

You missed out on "In the Arms of God". IMO, one of the best albums of the 2000s.

Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. I ran across this band on Youtube while looking for something else. I've heard of them. But I didn't know they had some of the hits they did.

"Cover Of The Rolling Stone"

Marshall Tucker

I'll definitely agree to that one. Just picked up their greatest hits on vinyl, primo.

If you like them, I would definitely recommend Truth & Salvage Co. They've got a very similar sound.
