Naming good rock bands that I randomly discovered that most people have never heard of is a zero sum game.

Had a CD of a band called Silver Chair…. The CD (not sure which one) had in my opinion one good song. It got air time. This is like 1998. The other songs were nothing special. A roommate at the time said that the band Silver Chair is playing in San Francisco. So we went to the small venue and when Silver Chair came on stage, the did great! They sounded incredible. They were super loud, in rhythm, and their music was crisp and clear. The whole crowd was bouncing up and down. On one song, with the music absolutely raging, they all in unison suddenly stopped, and two seconds later picked it up again. It was awesome. I’ll never forget it…. that this relatively unknown, to me at least, Australian band in concert could way out perform their studio work.

The Afghan Whigs. Can't say enough good things about them.
A great band. I am going to see them in May.
I first heard of them on MTV in the early 1990s.
Someone already posted it, but it is worth repeating with a link. Angine de Poitrine is a microtonal math rock duo from Quebec.
Tom Verlaine stood behind me in a beer line in Toronto once (no backstage beer?) and wouldn't make eye contact with me. In Chicago, playing solo, he stopped playing mid-song and complained the lighting was too dark for him to see his strings. Strange dude. The interplay between Verlaine and Richard Lloyd on guitar was a large part of Television's magic. "Friction" is a good Television track.

Amazingly, they're already overplayed/hyped.
no one mentioned Little Feet I guess... were pretty famous but since Lowell George died so young is a band that is very overlooked from that era
more recently tea leaf green were pretty overlooked, more of jam band/live performers but quality music
Found this from a XC meet on YouTube

I remember back when that was posted. It's oddly transfixing.
Anyone know the song and band name in this trailer?

Uhm…a lot of people have heard of this band
Walter Lure was the stockbroker dude. He passed last year, which made it a clean sweep for the band. LAMF is killer from first track to final, the blueprint for a lot of bands decades later. Johnny was always just going to be Johnny. Burned bright, burned for a short time.
Band: Funkadelic
Heard this song in a radio station in the car
Unleash the Archers.
They did a cover of a Stan Rogers song called "Northwest Passage".
Looking for his version (which is great), but this one is just a bit better.
The Band Perry
Song: Done
