Some Great Artists That Are Not Well Appreciated

A snare drum beat, a pounding bass, a graceful melody that's cuts through your ear and touches your soul. We've all uttered the next few words. "Who is can that be?" These are a few artists that are extremely talented, but have not gained notoriety. You may be familiar with some of these, other, you may have not heard of. But you would be well served to better acquaint yourself with these bands. Take note, the music of all of these bands can be located on internet radio.

Nico: Best known for being a drug addled chanteuse, that should not repel anybody from the fact that she sang (a term I use loosely) some really beautiful songs. Listen to "These Days" from the 1960's album "Chelsea Girls." With contributions from Jackson Browne and Bob Dylan, the album exudes a warm and elegant tone that is unrivaled by any the came thereafter.

Syd Barrett: Just about every music fan is familiar with Pink Floyd. And some of you may even know the leader of the groups early years. But Syd Barrett is most remarkable to me as a damaged but brilliant (and brief) solo artist. He created two albums in 1970, "The Madcap Laughs" and "Barrett." They were not very robust in content, some say far from complete, but listen to "Terrapin" (off of the more superior "Madcap" album) and no musical creation has a more psychedelic tone. Every one from Bowie to Ray Davies cites Syd as essential, and for good reason.

The Velvet Underground: Words cannot describe the first time I heard "Pale Blue Eyes," or "Sweet Jane." These songs and this group are classic. From their pop minimalist origins, they do not disappoint the most discerning of listeners. Although I would stay clear from anything released during the 1990's reunion. The Velvet Underground is a fantastic rock and roll band that Americans never fully understood or appreciated.

The Meters: Ultra funky group led by Art Nellville of The Nellville Brothers. Since they're inception in the 60's The Meters have laid down the funk like no other. Listen to "Cissy Strut" and you will understand. Although largely instrumental, that should not stop anybody from checking them out.

The Dictators: Having released arguably the First "New York Punk Album" (1974's Go Girl Crazy) The Dictators exude a more lucid Twisted Sister and Quite Riot than an artsy Television. True they were abnormal in they're time, now we can look back and cherish how truly honest they were. They sometimes considered childish or evocative, but is was all in good humor. And you can't deny their biting songs! You can find 'The Dictators" on free online music.

The Cramps: Formed by Lux Interior (obvious stage name) in the late 70's, The Cramps recorded some of the most vibrant rock and roll of the century. Think boogie, punk, and swamp. If it wasn't for front man Lux's tragic death in February of 2009, they would still be playing somewhere in the country pleasing all fans, from punk to rockabilly.
