They are extremely talented aren't they? I saw them open up for U2 in Austin, TX back in the early 1990's. I could not believe how "tight" their playing was. No mistakes if you know what I mean. I posted that because many people don't know much about them at all, though they are a very big "underground/alternative" band aren't they? Thanks, glad you got to see them recently. I think you are right, seems Mr. Black wants to do his own thing. Good for you!

Could be a generation or regional thing. My school's favorite band was the Pixies.

Two amazingly talented rock bands, that aren't as well known as they should be are: -

Oceansize - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGjTKwAmpEU

Warning though, like all the best bands, their music can take a while to sink in. But because there is a bit more to it, stands up better on repeated listenings.

For fans of Tool, Porcupine Tree, Mars Volta, Radiohead etc.
