Music I love, that I feel never got any appreciation.

  This is not a video clip -  just audio to a static image (?).  The song is epic and runs for 9 minutes.  !!! are a New York band I think and massively funky, in my view. 
  
    

  Metronomy are an indie garage electronica act from England (the singer is a major producer for pop singers though).  This song is one of my favourites of all time.  I love that bass line and the weirdness of the lyrical style is fantastic.  It reminds me of early Talking Heads and B52's in the feel, not so much the music. 
 
  

  Butterfingers is one strange dude.  His lyrics are a little odd and I love him for it.  I really dig the end of the song as well. 
  
  

  
Good old Machine Gun Fellatio  :-)  They are awesome.  This is a song unlike anything I have heard in contemporary music.  
 
   

  
 Bliss N Eso do hip hop Australian style and do it very well.  I love the sampled grooves and the attitude.  They are excellent at what they do. 
 
 
I have pretty much always been an alternative music fan since the late 70s when I got into punk.  I only listen to an alternative youth radio station for my music fix and I am constantly delighted by what I hear.  I mention bands like these to my friends and they stare blankly -their loss.  So what do you think of some of oldschools under appreciated picks?
