You know, I really don't know what's up with people, but believe me, it's a new trend to like hundreds of bands that are hardly ever listened to. Take myspace for example, there are so many twits with 354354 bands that they probably forget about once they finish typing the name. I suppose it makes them feem 'cool' and 'different' and 'better than the rest of us'. There's a whole bunch of those people out there.

If this relates to the artists I posted, well, think again. Just because you haven't heard of Yo La Tengo, Low, Neutral Milk Hotel, Boredoms, Sleater-Kinney, Joy Division doesn't mean 'nobody' knows of them.

Of course there are many people who know these bands, I just made that comment from a general outlook on the music industry.

Again, didn't mean to offend, if you were, sorry.

Thanks for clearing things up, I also give my respect for you replying instead of brushing our little debate off
