Underrated band

The Replacements.  Great 80's rock / punk / garage band from Minneapolis that inspired lots of bands that sold a lot more records than they did. However, the 'placements had a hand in their own lack of success due to shunning MTV, and getting drunk a lot. Specifically before a shambolic performance on what should have been the golden ticket of Saturday Night Live..????

 

Ditto "Pixies", although had some success with movie soundtracks and comeback tours / albums.

The Velvet Underground

 

Without doubt the band that most artists rate as the most influential band of the 20th century on multiple music genres, but commercially it never happened for them.

 

Rock On Lou Reed - Singing about BDSM, Drugs and Transexualism

absolutely awesome cover of Sounds of Silence. Ofall teh covers out there this is the BEST and better than S & G.

 

It is a very uplifting version but obviously not better than S&G. David Draiman shouting out the lyrics at the top of his voice does not make it better than the original.

 

As much as I do like the Disturbed copy, I frankly prefer the rendition from Tom Ball on America's Got Talent:-

.....and another favorite from this underrated band.....  If you ever see them live then you would understand how good they are, especially if you see them at Red Rocks!
