check out the new SND album, Tender Love. It's really beautiful, cutup R+B garage bizness. Minimal techno artists doing pop-R+B, I love it. |

los planetas: spanish group... for me the best album is: una semana en el motor de un autobus (1998) incredible pop made of exhausting sad and dense atmospheres |

check out the notwist... quite nice glitchy rock type stuff... but if you want the real muthafuckin goods... the best pop/hip hop album put out this year is Prefuse 73's One Word Extinguisher... absolutely essential |

Urb (american electronic music & hip-hop magazine) just listed THREE of their five albums in the top 50 greatest albums ever (#1 was dj shadow's endtroducing). two of the three were in the top 20. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have a link for that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

aye, underground pop.. with the examples given being aphex and sigur ros leaves it pretty broad so heres a bunch of good stuff that may or may not fit your definition of 'underground pop', but is well worth checking out anyways: mum dntel hood air the sea and cake slowdive my bloody valentine bjork clue to kalo aim four tet nightmares on wax anti pop consortium ulrich schnauss casino versus japan marumari fog ampop yo la tengo |

how did de la soul, nwa and public enemy fair in pole |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a pretty decent 2-5... i still prefer midnight marauders to the low end theory, though... but it's good to see the Tribe way up that list... and good to now that Monsieur Shadow was nombre un! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it got voted my mix mag in england no1 dance album of all time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
de la soul's first 2 albums ranked highly (top 25 i think), NWA's straight outta compton was in the top 20. public enemy had 2 in the top 10 i believe (first 2 albums). |

I don't know if they'd be classified ''underground'', but Sloan make the best power-pop money can buy these days, and have been for probably 10 years. Twice Removed and One Chord to Another are their best, but all their albums since then have been rock solid as well. I love them, and it's not just because they're the only really good Nova Scotian band. They're fucking dope like soap on a rope. |

it's indie rock with a sense of humor (doesn't take itself too seriously). they've been around for a long while and are actually one of the few extremely popular/trendy indie rock bands i can endorse (along with dismemberment plan). |
||||||||

I say pavement - check out 'westing by musket and sextant. Hmnn but aphex as pop under - ground? hmmn jega? .....Snares new one - teh= poppy breakcore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup. Pretty accurate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pavement for sure. This is too weird... what's ''underground'' and what's ''pop'' and what's both and what's what isn't entirely clear... *faints |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just popular alternative music alternative can sometimes be underground pop is popular again ill use aphex as the best example because most people listen and say its shit but most people who listen to something different or demand a bit more have some aphex somewhere |
