Seems nobody loves Del Amitri the way I do. Nobody buys their music and nobody came to the last show I was at.
Nobody (in my age bracket) shares my love for Lagwagon either.
Graham Parker - criminally underappreciated.
Do you have a favorite artist who no one else seems to like?

I'm sure there are a few here (and on the Neil Sedaka board) that like them, but I don't think my level of admiration for Meshuggah is shared by anyone else.
Their music is not that accessible (especially with the last 2 albums and EP) but what this band manages to do with metal is so amazing that if baffles me that they're not as big as other bands.

I think that anyone who really digs death metal has some serious love for Meshuggah, though. But I could be wrong.
Local H. Well...everyone who hears them seems to like them, but no one really hears them anymore...

I like 4 or 5 songs on every Local H. cd that I have. I have Good As Dead, Pack Up The Cats, Here Comes The Zoo. That Scott Lucas is one talented dude.

I'd have to say alot of my collection falls under the "I love this band but no one else does" because I listen to alot of stuff that probably doesn't have distribution beyond where I live... my Australian favourites being the case...
And there's too many of those to list!

Well mine is pretty obvious: my love for KORN rivals that of PINK FLOYD, and no one seems to get it. OH well, its one of those "yer loss, my gain" things. I still love em as fiercely as I did the very first time they blew my proverbial head off live in a little club called aXis in boston in March of 1995. To me they exemplify everything a hard rock band can be and beyond: they are quite literally the true blue successors to virtually any "rock throne" I can think of, having followed their lead every step of the way since their grass roots inception a decade ago.

In my mind, KORN not only incorporate nearly every style & genre of rock/hiphop music in existence, but they somehow DEFY them all at the same time in a transcendant explosion of super-creative audio hallucinatory bliss. All of this limited to the tweaking & implementation of nothing but their instruments: guitars, bass, drum, and vocals. KORN mixes up every goddamn style there IS while maintaining a fresh originality never before comparable by any musical act in history. They are one of the few bands out there who can claim a totally original sound as their own which to this day resists labelling: hence their own (otherwise nonsensical or silly-ass) band NAME achieves an illuminating catharsis of expression which serves better than anything else as the perfect "label" to their music. They are not "nu-metal" nor are they "heavy-hop" or "crunk-rock" or any other twisted, expressionistic combo of used terms: they are simply KORN and they always will continue to be so, because I have every bit of faith that the 4 remaining members have enough originality & creativity to continue on under a newly evolved guise without their long-time collaborator Brian Welch. Their sound may head in a new direction as they chart previously unheard-of sonic realms without their long lost brother, but I am every bit as confident the 4 remaining Horsemen of their particular Apocalypse will re-invent a newly charted course for their exploratory mayhem, with or without him.
And I am as excited as I ever have been to see what they have in store for us real fukkers.

I'm actually a bit surprised that some of my more 'controversial' favourites did get recognition here by a few people...I'm talking about Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream who've I've grown up with for many years. I can write a whole board full of reviews about them...just something that a lot of people see as non-essential timewasters.
I'm probably the only one having true positive sentiments for Dead Can Dance and their solo-output. DCD changed my perception of the musical world as it opened doors to the wide world of romantic classicism, ambient, world music and ethnic rhythms. This band has brought me many joy in tough times.
It's OK to not be able to convince other people of their great value, the rest of my musical love is so widespread, it's good to have something to myself...until someone comes about and changes that perception....

Oldfield and Tangerine are essential, IMO

"I'm probably the only one having true positive sentiments for Dead Can Dance and their solo-output"
*wrong!*
DEAD CAN DANCE is one of my alltime favorites
The Serpent's Egg
Within the Realm of a Dying Sun
Toward the Within
Aion
. . . . . . . . I revere them.

I don't think I've ever heard a song by Korn or by Dead Can Dance. It's off to I-Tunes I go.
