<title>O/T Your favorite &quot;unknown&quot; artist</title>
<description>If you'd pick one, not so well-known artist/band, who would that be? If you want to &quot;promote&quot; more than one, be my guest but try to limit yourselves to most favorites. Music genre,completely open of course.

My pick is MrNorth, a band I discovered from melodic.net, they seem to have an audience (or devoted fan base if you prefer) limited in NYC and I believe that they have enough quality to deserve more exposure, hence this thread. 

Info: http://www.melodic.net/?page=artist&amp;id=mrnorth 

Completely random choice of song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSq2c4JeI6M

Also, it's a nice opportunity to say thanks to the guys in melodic.net for the bands I discovered because of them.

I immediately went to the Best Buy and then a used record store both on 38th St. and picked up everything.<br /><br />Ha! I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana. Have been a Cardinal fan for 35 years! Love the city. Went down there twice to see Hagar play just for the &quot;St. Louis/Hagar Experience&quot; which was awesome. I get to St. Louis at least once a year for a couple ball games.]]></description>

Not totally unknown if you are into blues and New Oreans music. He's been Bonnie Raitt MD for many years, and has played/recorded/toured with BB King, Maria Muldaur, John Scoffield and Keith Richards to name a few. This said as a solo artist is amazing. All his albums are great. www.joncleary.com]]></description>

But it certainly mostly revolves around rock. Some other genres bore me,tho I can respect musicianship involved. For instance--they can keep reggae..same exact beat song after song. *Yawn*. Same with old blues. Same exact rhythm patterns and lyrical bent in that stuff. Now--you take ANY style and infuse/improve it into rock,and it comes alive for me. Guess that's why I like country rock,folk rock,prog rock,hard rock,etcetc.. T]]></description>

It's good to listen to other types of stuff and broaden the mind, although I don't have a problem if people don't want to or can't like anything other than rock music. It comes back to the biggest issue I've always had with some rock fans; that they dismiss anything that isn't rock as utter shit. I don't like too much jazz, classical or reggae. But I try to respect all styles of music and realise there are some very talented musicians operating within those genres. That's probably not just a characteristic of rock fans mind, as I'm sure it's probably the same within all genres. I just don't spend enough time conversing with followers of techno to find out :-))]]></description>
