I’ll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn’t catch on.

What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.

No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through…ooohhmmmm…

    I’ll have to check them out. I love rock, but I’m not familiar with the modern rock scene.

    I just watched a few videos. Not really for me, but they have some range. Meeting the Master, Highway Tune, and Heat Above. Highway Tune reminds me of the Doors. It was worth watching the music videos for me.

      You must check out king gizzard and the lizard wizard, they are honestly rock and roll hall of fame material, they are I think what modern rock and roll has evolved into.

      They have a crazy track record of recording multiple albums per year for like 20 years straight and not a single one of them suck and they continue to get better everytime, idk how they do it but they do it well and i can confidently say this is not an exaggeration of my interest in them.

      They explore a lot of variety of genres but I think people mostly look at them and place them as rock and roll.
