I'm curious and I often wondered why Americans spell then 'than'.
It can't be a spelling error...it happens a lot...why?

As for least pretentious, I'd have to say a band that seems somewhat self deprecating like Alice in Chains, or maybe Radiohead-they're really good, but not really full of themselves.
Yeah man, Radiohead definately. Good one.
The intellectuals band!
I agree with that.
They keep a low profile and don't preach to kids about stuff as part of their image then do the opposite and have PR people covering it up.
Nice one!

It may be the case that they reveal their pretentiousness by explicitly making self-important statements and whatnot. Which is often the case.

On the topic, Maynard James Keenan was always pretty pretentious.

I don't think pretentiousness can be accurately measured from the listeners point of view.

I thought being pretentious meant trying to appear more smart and cultured than everyone.... or maybe I should invest in a dictionary.

most pretentious that i can recall is easily creed. prior to releasing their last album they made the claim that they had surpassed led zeppelin and were about to make the world forget about the doors.

least pretentious - nick drake.
