What is the most name-dropped but never listened to bands? Historically what bands has the highest ratio of being mentioned or talked about but never listened to?

I’ll start.
>sonic youth
Normies right now love to mention sonic youth but anytime I try to talk about their early stuff or something less known like sonic nurse or even sister they blank. Also a lot of bands that claim SY influence but sound like pop punk
>velvet underground
This one is historical and kind of a meme. So many people have not a fucking clue what this band sounds like because they refuse to put it on for 5 minutes.
>king gizzard
For good reason. They were novel but fucking lame so everyone knew their name and zaney activities but no one really gave a shit about their music.

I'm really, REALLY tempted to say Red Hot Chili Peppers, but with how much I see Flea appreciated I don't think I can say that.
My best guess after that would be Godspeed but that just might be a side effect of the genre they're in being super niche to begin with.

I would say Jeff Beck

Buddy Bolden

Oh man the most glaring example of that is probably [your favorite band]

People always like to talk about [your favorite band] and say how influential they were and how good [their best album] was but really they're all just pretending for cool point. Nobody actually listens to [your favorite band] for real because they suck ass, and if you enjoy [your favorite band] unironically then I'm sorry but you are either lying or a retard

My favorite band is Jamiroquai. People only talk about it when they see fuzzy hats.

Pink Floyd

>>130407326
Queen, outside of handful of singles

The Fall
>>
>>130407810
I would say Beck

>>130407326
Ornette Coleman
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Throbbing Gristle
Fugazi
>>
Bob Dylan because outside LARS and TTTAAC almost nobody has actually listened to any of his catalog.
