Welcome to the HU roundtable on The Best Band No One Has Ever Heard Of. For the next couple of weeks we’ll be running posts from HU guests and regulars on bands, singers, or musicians who are neglected, forgotten, obscure, underrated, or some combination of all of those.

The index below is alphabetical by musician covered, and will be updated as the roundtable goes along. Feel free to tell us about other best bands no one has ever heard of in comments.

  1. Paul Barker was in a weird Seattle band called The Blackouts before he joined Ministry. I even bought their discography collection. There’s also Thoughts of Ionesco, a MI metal/hc band from the late-’90s heavily influenced by early Swans and experimental jazz.

  2. Ave, Good choice of Severed Heads. They were seminal electronic music pioneers. I can think of several genres (or sub-genres) of electronic dance music that either wouldn’t exist, or would have been delayed several years, were it not for their influence.

  3. Gonna throw my hiphop hat into the ring and recommend a gentleman who goes by the name Count Bass D. Especially his album “Dwight Spitz”

  4. I guess that doesnt qualify as a band really, but he is definitely deserving of more recognition then he ever really got.
