I'll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn't catch on.

What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.

No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through.....ooohhmmmm....

Refused, I found out about them cause they were the band who did all the Samurai songs in cyberpunk 2077 and even though they had a bit of a bump they're still really obscure

Now this is a band I should have known about. They remind me of Weezer, if Weezer was more hardcore. The melodic metal songs remind me of Evergreen Terrace. New noise is great. The Shape of Punk to Come was awesome. This is the high energy rock, I need in my life. Thank you.

"Shape of Punk to Come" is chefs kiss been bumping that shit for over 20 years now and it is still great!

Shape of Punk To Come is a straight up masterpiece. Blew my tiny mind in '98, when my world had come to revolve around whatever Epitaph and Fat Wreck were putting out.

I think Refused are one of those bands who don't need to be big. They do their thing, then they disband for a while, work on other projects, then come back together.
