The band everybody's heard and nobody's heard of...

   certain bands like the ones i'm thinking of, have multiple albums out, get absolutely no airplay on the radio, their names are often missed in movies, and yet for whatever reason they're n every damned movie or tv show you've seen. So the whole point here is to list various artists or bands with whome this happens: 1. the band/artist must be somewhat obscure. if you asked a sample survey of twenty people off the streets, only 1 or 2 of them might know who you are talking about. the less well known, the better. 2. The band/artist must have more than one album out. in fact, to be safe, more than two albums to ensure we're not talking about one hit wonders here. the more they have produced the better. 3. the songs don't have to be incredibly popular but popular enough that they can say, "hey! i think i heard that song before!" when you play it... topping my list of bands like this would be Ivy, who has out at least five album under various labels, nobody knows who the bloody hell they are, and yet play a few of their songs and everyone's bound to know at least one or two songs from your sample. someone else suggested Air as another whom this happens with often... i'm interested in what you come up with...
