Favorite Bands that Never Made It?

[Costa Del City]

PAPOOSE

Except appearing on Busta Rhymes "Touch It Remix" His never done anything of note. Even though since before that song and to this day his still 1 of the best rappers out there.

Geneva. What a voice that guy had.

I remember Geneva. I had their first (only?) album and was expecting so much more. Sometimes it just never happens.

The Music were being touted as the next big thing in Indie but they couldn't carry it off. 3 albums in 10 years and some touring. Nothing else.

all bands mentioned have "made it"

I said a few weeks back on here that they'd recently split up, but that may not be quite true. There could still be more to come from them in the future although perhaps not under that name.

Courteeners

Love them! St jude is one my i pod now has we speak!

Do they really fit the "..Never Made It" category ? Playing MEN Arena next month. I know it's not quite sold out but think it confirms they have made it. Previously sold out Academy 1, Apollo etc. That's good enough for many.

Not household names,IMO although they achieved a certain level.They didn't "make it" in my book.

I suppose they were never the most prolific of bands.

Nope nothings been confirmed officially because I think things are a bit up in the air at the moment. They were dropped by their record label a couple of months back and Rob has all but confirmed on Twitter that he's left the band. That seemed to be that, but people who know Adam, Phil and Stu seem to reckon that those three are still working together and could carry on in one form or another.

Liars.

Rolo Tomassi.

Health.

I wouldn't say that Health have never made it,myself.
They were great when I saw them support Crystal Castles at the Academy a fortnight ago,they have a deal with a major record label,and are a regular feature at festivals.
I would say that they are underrated,however.
