Chiodos so good, listened to them in high school and saw them perform live in front of the rock and roll hall of fame. Pretty sweet*

Also listened to blindside all the way back to their self-titled album!

(looks like neither soniv or asmo well get this one :D)

Dominions 4 release version and game manual will be released tomorrow.

Time to get cracking on that TL S&G thread.

Also going to find a place to print out the manual.

I saw Chiodos live at Warped Tour several years ago. They were insanely good. The mosh pit was amazing. I made it out just in time for the "Wall of Death" (I had no desire to die that day).

I've also seen Saosin live at Toad's Place (small hole in the wall in New Haven, CT). They were AMAZING.

It's seriously a high. I've never been in the scary ones though. Like soniv said, don't feel like dying.

Emery was my first mosh pit I think so take it for what you will.

Nightwish
Sonata Arctica

How are these not known? 0K, Sonata Arctica maybe not too mainstream but as soon as you delve into the genre it's pretty known too.
And Blocparty, uh... 'k, I'll admit, I've only her one of their songs at the radio, but it was everywhere all the time to the point where it's more "do you remember" than "do you know".

Granted, there're the 3 popular songs and then the 5 albums noone has ever heard of. Genesis isn't only "Jesus he knows me" yo.

I pretty much listen to Hip Hop feela, but from that genre I would suggest:

(This group I consider of a higher quality)
Kendrick Lamar
Childish Gambino
2Pac
B.O.B.
Kid Cudi
Eminem
Blue Scholars
J. Cole
Yelawolf
Mos Def

(This group is just as enjoyable but consists of my "guilty pleasures")
Wax
Macklemore
Hoodie Allen
Lil Wayne
G-Eazy
Moufy
Timeflies Tuesday

OH. And for Alaric. Basotho music is called Famu. It is basically some dude yelling/singing/slam poetry to lots of whistles and.... ACCORDIONS! It's super cool and the music videos are fucking hilarious.

I hope the manual helps me out a ton, I'm generally always confused about everything and it isn't helpful when I read out of date things and then wonder why I can't make skull mentors (ooooh, they don't exist anymore! (they don't, right?)).
(Aside, I think I saw soloside post on their desura forums. WAT?)

On a different note anyone who likes nuzlocke drama needs to read the original minion permadeath drama that was the XCOM: UFO defence let's play.

There are certainly lesser known bands I really like.

Strange definition of lesser known since anyone with exposure to power/symphonic metal will know them...they're basically two of the biggest names in the genre.

The original question is silly any ways since anything that's not Billoboard top 100 is basically "not modern/popular" by some definition.

Everyone knows who Beethoven is but no one listens to Beethoven, does he qualify?

There's just too much music out there.
Awooo...

Hm, does being popular in a niche genre make you popular?

If you'll allow me to indulge in kpop for a second, I could tell you being a fan of T-ara or SNSD means you only listen to the big name groups, but at the same time no one outside of kpop knows who they are for the most part.

I've found that a surprising number of people who don't follow kpop know SNSD, SJ, T-ara, etc.

Well, ok, but the point stands. I could say f(x) or Kara* instead to make the point a bit more clear. I know Nightwish from like 2 songs and had never heard of Sonata Arctica, but I don't really know the genre.

Tu To Na Aayi by F4 is popular in India, but does anybody here even know the song? Or the artist.
But that doesn't mean it's not popular.

k-pop is popular in korea (hence the name hurr)

In the end, there's very little truly globally popular music. But if something is popular within a genre or within a region, it's still popular. Just within that genre/region-

Well the point was that the definition of "a little known group" is a bit difficult to pin down. What's little known to you may be the most popular group in my circle of friends.
