For my school magazine, I'm writing an article about artists usually unknown to most people. For this I need some information from a variety of sources so, please reply telling me which of the artists on this list you know/have heard of.

Emiliana Torrini
Alisha's Attic
Of Montreal
Death Cab for Cutie
Fiona Apple
Sarah McLachlan
Jarvis ****er
Half Man Half Biscuit
Rasputina
Tori Amos

Thank you very much for your help!
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum.
 
I've heard all of those but I don't know if a music forum is really the best place to have an accurate gauge on how popular music is. I'd say a lot of people have heard of Death Cab For Cutie, Fiona Apple and Tori Amos.
 
She did Gollum's song(the finale) in the LotR:Return of the King. I only recently found that out. I first heard her when she did a cover of Sinatra's "If you go away" for the movie Pumpkin starring Christina Ricci. She's one of those people that has quite a few songs out there(mostly movies) but nobody really knows who she is.
 
You should try doing banRAB like Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia..., Midnight Movies, The Pink Mountaintops, and Codeine instead of those that you're doing.

I know of all of those except Alisha's Attic.
 
Robin Trower is a pretty unknown blues/rock guitarist. (unless you are into it)
Robert Cray " " "
Depeche Mode
Rayon Belchere
Moody Blues (maybe)
 
Its not that people don't know they exist, they just don't want to acknowledge that they exist. A lot of people know who they are, its just that most people dispise them.

In fact, when people think prog, the first band that usually comes to mind aside from Yes is ELP, in fact ELP were huge in the 70s, they sold a lot of recorRAB, Tarkus even made it to #1 on the UK charts. If you have a dad, odRAB are he owned an ELP record at some point in his life.

Its just that now most music critics and people in the punk and indie scene dispise prog in virtually the same way art critics, impressionists and modernists dispised the academic art movement of the 19th century, to the extent that they even ignored its existance completely in art history textbooks.
