Music the whole world knows, but most have nevery actually heard

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 10.14.2008, 03:58 PM

1) Bob Marley:

yeah, everyone knows jammin, but very few have ever heard the confrontation album. of course, marley is in the middle, there a lot of surprises out there of folks who know and love a lot of this music. sometimes it is as Macka B said, "and if them ever find some man on the moon i'm sure he will know a bob marley tune, everbody loves bob marley everywhere I go its the same old story, people of all nations they love the rastaman vibration.."

2) Jerry Garcia:

Jerry G is a household name, but I doubt few people have ever heard a jerry play a jimmy cliff song.... few have listened to the dead, even fewer have ever heard jerry g solo, but almost EVERYONE knows who they are, its sort of a shame, but it is the nature of the game when you are predominantly a live band..

3) Frank Zappa:

Many many people have heard this name, but they have absolutely know idea what it means, but then again, so do many zappa heads...

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 10.14.2008, 03:58 PM

also on this list:

Jimi Hendrix
the Beatles
Black Sabbath..

Pookie · 10.14.2008, 04:00 PM

Tom Jones

Johnny Cash. 6 years of good to shit albums. A whole lifetime of turds, with rare breaks of good songs, and then a late-career resurgence of good records (probably his finest period, consistency-wise)

Dolly Parton - save for a few 80s albums, utterly amazing. Little Sparrow!

Paul Roberson - not just 'old man river'.

The Earl Of Slander · 10.14.2008, 04:25 PM

The Velvet Underground - Everyone I know has heard of them, yet practically none of them have actually listened to them.

Tom Waits - I guess he's well known enough to qualify

Rob Instigator · 10.14.2008, 04:27 PM

I get irratiuoally upset when people tell me they FUCKING LOVE Bob Marley but they have never heard any thing besides the Legend compilation. what the fuck????
if you love a band or a musician would you not try to get as much as you can from them? shit

confrontation, survival, Catch a Fire, Burnin, get thjem all people! they are fucking cheaop as fuck to get on CD, ussualy a soundsaver for less than $9.00

Derek · 10.14.2008, 04:29 PM

What annoys me about Bob Marley are the lame stoners who wear t-shirts of him and don't even know any of his songs.

Pookie · 10.14.2008, 04:31 PM

Yeah, people who like Marley, but not enough to buy all his albums.

Yeah, fuckers.

afterthefact · 10.14.2008, 04:35 PM

Speaking of Marley, I got SO PISSED the other day. A guy called into a radio station and requested, get this, "Red Red Wine by Marley."

AHHHHHHH!

I wanted to reached through the radio and strangle him.

I've been enjoying a bunch of his really stripped down early recordings that are on Trojan Records recently.

Yeah, I think the same would go for most jazz giants like Coltrane, Ellington, Mingus, Monk, etc.

greedrex · 10.14.2008, 05:15 PM

yes Coltrane is a good one.

i actually heard "Casey Jones" on the radio the other night coming back from work, maybe my favorite Dead song, and i am not really much of a fan
