Who do you think should have been bigger, but for whatever reason, just weren't as big as they probably should have in your opinion.

I will nominate a great Scottish band .

Love and money

I wish Tenacious D had released more actual music over fucking about as they really are amazingly talented. One of my fave tracks ever is Wicked Game by Chris Isaac, head over to google for their cover, it’s short but insanely good.

Wow didn’t know Tenacious D had covered Wicked Game, it’s fantastic though I’d expect no less. Tribute is one of my favourite songs especially with the superb Dave Grohl as the shiny demon… and of course there’s Wonderboy too, to name but a couple of great tracks

Belle and Sebastian, the super naturals, corner shop,the mock turtles,the wannadies,the coral,the La’s,Razorlight,The Zutons,Reverend and the makers.

There’s literally too many bands that are not appreciated as much as they should be. Music has always and still is a massive part of my life, I’ll add more to the thread when I’ve wakened up more

BMX Bandits should have made it but for whatever reason didn't.

As someone else said earlier the Dykeenies where good as well.

Load a great bands that haven't made it mainstream but great to watch in smaller live venues

Felt. From "Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty" through to "Me And A Monkey On The Moon" the utter brilliance of their ten albums should have made them huge. "Poem of the River" remains my fave.

Excellent band, saw them at Loopallu in Ullapool and followed them from there.

Wolfstone deserved to be bigger as well

Currently, Skerryvore should have a much bigger following.
