    Serious praise has to go to After Forever, Nightwish, Lullacry, AFI and Alkaline Trio. They are the only modern bands I know of to come up with their own serious sound. Please correct me if I am wrong. All the modern "punk rock" bands sound ridiculously similar to Nirvana these days!

    uhh... Yeah... I'd say you're pretty wrong. Who are you referring to as 'modern punk' bands?

    lamb - are touring here and i'm pretty sure that they are well known here.

    jeff buckley - a great artist, but tim is still the best in my book

    Pulp! I re-discovered Different Class the other day. Thats an excellent album.

    I saw Elbow supporting Muse 2 weeks ago-they were fantastic! Ive never really heard their stuff before, but they blew me away-went out the next day and bought their newest album.

    The bestest Pulp album by far is We LOve LIfe, go and buy it NOW!

    Try and find their cover of "Independent Women", its a classic. Part of it is on rathergood.com, or it was anyway.

    Two years agho Id ahve agreed with you, but theyre quite big now, certainly in the underground. All the wannabe-Avrils wear RBF hoodies.

    And alas theyre about as good as Avril now:(

    ive seen them supporting avril.....their really talented but a bit boring....but it might be because the guy in front (who was fat,sweaty and greasy) kept flicking his manky sweat over everyone whilst he was moshing....that could have put me off them :yuck:

    i saw them a while back when they werent too well known and they were really good live
    they're a fun band, good to dance to, but i agree, theyve become like the ska band that are like 'soooo coool and different' etc meh i quite like them i guess

    So how come ive never met a single person whos heard of Silverchair?! huh?! :no: not right i tell you!!

    Loooaaads of people have heard of silverchair down here-shade, ana's song - both awesome

    a great band which not many people know about is Liberty 37..nothing like the chart band by-the-by

    also...GOATBOY, yeh! great stuff

    I agree with the Our Lady Peace suggestion but I find them a bit too poppy

    He did that song "Susan's House" that was pretty popular nearly 10 years ago I think. But since then his stuff hasn't been as commercial.

    They don't get on the radio any more (haven't done for about 5 years I don't think) but they are well-known and have a big fanbase.
