 Topic: Artists that should be better known.Posted: July 22 2015 at 17:50 |

I was just listening to some Galahad discs in my car earlier and was wondering why they were lesser known than bands like Marillion, Pendragon et al. What artists, group or solo, do feel should be better known?

Oh, gee.
Imediatly the name Secos & Molhados and Marco Antonio Araujo came in my mind, the first are being evaluated by the folk team I guess to be added in PA - although i believe they are crossover. But there's also a band I like a lot, Fuchsia. Osanna would be the one band that everyone knows but has few reviews of their albums. I will eventually remeber another names to put here. |

RPI band Libra.
Helmut Koellen as a solo artist- should be accepted as Prog Related, or Crossover Prog. Fusion group Giger Lenz Marron. |

Steve. There is a reason why Galahad are not as well known, or successful, as Marillion, Pendragon, IQ. It is because they were good, but not as good. |

I think Genesis is underrated on this site. Them, or perhaps King Crimson. Sadly undervalued here.

I can think of a few: Von Hertzog Bros and Tesseract, and perhaps, Touchstone, whose young female singer has unfortunately has become quite ill.

The Tea Club- Pretty much the best symphonic/crossover prog band on the east coast right now. Why these guys aren't as big as The Dear Hunter completely baffles the hell out of me!
Lovely Little Girls- The evil stepchild of Magma, Cheer-Accident and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Alex Perkerloup is absolutely amazing. I fight for this band to be heard. These guys make music that is insanely catchy but surprisingly more dangerous and weirder than even a lot of avant-stylized bands. BUT, there's something very modern about their sound that I think SHOULD appeal to the youth of today. Kids needs to realize that Lady Gaga and St Vincent aren't actually weird at all... Orakle- French indie rock meets French avant-black metal. Been listening to their new one for a couple months solid. These guys are like evil satanic Muse now or something. They should be opening up for Muse on tours. Prypisme- Basically the most outrageous instrumental band based in video game music and avant metal I can think of. Why aren't all the freaking crazy ADHD kids listening to this? Oh... it's because the mass media wouldn't know how to promote them. Leprous because even though they are doing well in the prog world... these guys should be the biggest metal band on the radio. Cardiacs because they are the greatest band to ever have existed in my opinion, and they should be a household name damn it! Best psychedelic pop rock a person could ever ask for! And then pretty much a thousand awesome insane bands that have no chance of fame so i wouldn't even list them.

I really enjoy those Gosta Berlings Saga, who remind me of Anglagard. For Galahad, as mention SteveG, i was listening to Empire... album and never fully understand why this band is not more well known than the big neo prog bands.

I think all Prog bands should be better know.
If I was only allowed to name one band, I would name the wonderful Sensations Fix and their mastermind Franco Falsini (solo album "Cold Nose" - this masterpiece is - as far as I know - still available on vinyl). They have been one of my most listened-to bands in the last few years and they still keep me listening and dreaming with their totally intriguing space prog.
Yes, absolutely. Edited by Skalla-Grim - July 23 2015 at 16:53 |

I freaking agree! I have no idea why they aren't playing every single jam band fest in the United States all summer and blowing every other band there out of the water... because they would OWN it. |

Pain of Salvation, Daniel Gildenlow, frontman, singer and song writer was a permanent member of The Flower Kings, also a member of TransAtlantic with Portnoy, Roine Stolt, Pete Trewavas and Neal Morse. Also on Ayreon's 01011001, the seventh studio album by Arjen Anthony Lucassen.
I suggest 4 completely different tracks from Pain of Salvation for you to listen here: Used - Pain of Salvation - Live from "Ending Themes" DVD : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGDoTlj15Q4 Pain of Salvation - Undertow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmThYFlLFKM now this one yay bounce, bounce happy bounce!!!!! yay!!!  Pain of Salvation - Disco Queen (Live from Amsterdam) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I88l4gkaPkQAnd now a softer yet grabbing side: Pain of Salvation - Hallelujah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfxScuK3Qy4 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
