Music That Doesn't Suck

Hey hippies, long time no see. I have been busy recently searching for the lost Mr. Me. We still do not know where he is and we are quickly losing hope.

In other news, I have been listening to some cool music lately. This is a lot of non-mainstream bands that I heard for the first time recently. Thanks to a good friend of mine at work and my friend ‘Lipe (Pronounced L – ee – P – ee) my musical awareness is ever increasing.

This post is going to be an ongoing tribute to non-mainstream bands that don’t suck. Check them out. Unless you are a cookie cutter, modern music, A-Tonal hippie, and I hope you are not; then you will like these bands. This post will be constantly updated with new bands as I remember them or hear about new ones. Enjoy hippies and remember to try something new and keep an open mind. You may learn something and learning is fun.

Here is the list:
Elliot Smith
Belle & Sebastian
Stephen Malkmus
Manowar (Crazy that I would ever like a hair band, but I did.)
Caroline's Spine


(If you have suggestions for bands that should be added, then please post a comment. The only requirements are that the band not be too mainstream and not suck. Use your judgement and I will have the final say.)

Not that I doubt those bands and all but haven't you forgotten a few? I know that you remember Manowar, and who could forget Caroline's Spine. Remember: even though they have offical albums (endorsed by the music biz) they still have good music that isn't (yet) "too mainstream".
Lates,

Point well taken and noted. I can't believe I forgot about the bands from my not so long ago past. See why I opened this up to everyone else? Thanks Mr. Me
