I saw a few of their music videos on Fuse, back when it was actually an awesome music video channel.

@ iccp i'm shocked you are one of the 2006 wave, and hadn't heard about, long time ago he was quite popular on the board, in ye goode olde tymes. :o

 

Radiohead

Omigosh, this board. Radiohead is plastered everywhere in the WoM. I felt out of the loop not knowing who they were. After some casual listening, I got some stuff, and they were my summer 2009 soundtrack, basically.

 

Hurts

Mark's thread. :|

Travis Wall choreographed a dance routine to one of their songs on "So You Think You Can Dance." That was my first exposure to them.

 

Massive Attack

The internet.

 

Boards of Canada

I don't really know their music. However, I once saw Chris or Briggins (I think it was Chris, now that I think about it) post a video of theirs on Facebook, and Josh commented on how he didn't like the band.

 

Kaiser Chiefs

They have a song on Guitar Hero that I love

 

The Black Keys

Through a friend that showed me a song :)

 

Franz Ferdinand

Probably through the radio because I only have a few songs
