You're right, they are a lot less known than Hendrix.

Seriously dude, trip hop has a small enough following as it is, and you compare them to the dude that every high schooler thinks is the only guitarist worth talking about.

All that says is that the sort of people that use last.fm are the sort of people that would like Portishead more. It's hardly a good representation of the average high schooler's taste.

Seriously Comus why is Portisheads music so ****e and terrible*? They are basically a prog band with samplers instead of guitars. They don't play boring, banal, safe commercial music. Their music is exploratory, inquisitive and forward thinking. Everything that I know you look for in music.

Even if their sound is not conducive to you, to call them terrible and ****e* is a narrow minded statement and I granted you with a lot more intelligence than that.

* your words.

I'm kinda scared that a lot of the newer members will just vote for Hendrix because of his name and not give the Portishead song an honest listen though

It was listening to the Portishead song that caused me to vote for Hendrix. Seriously that Portishead song sounds like a drunk man liked in a band room closet w/ the lights turned off.

First of all Prog=/=Good. Second, they are utterly awful, I can't listen to more than 5 minutes of any of their albums without feeling physically ill. It's personal preference, but in my opinon they are ****e. People can enjoy them, fine, I just won't understand it.

EDIT: I love how you immediately associate someone who dislikes a band you like with low intelligence.

Dude you're dp is of the Residents, a band that have made a career out of producing material that sounds like a drunk man locked in a room full of instruments with the lights turned off.
