Songs you listened to before they became popular

Whip My Hair - Willow Smith

 

Same Love by Macklemore
And I second Radioactive. Listened to the whole album before they aped half of it on the radio.

 

I listed to Daft Punk before they were mainstream, I suppose.

 

Can't hold us was one, I remember I heard it back in 2011, then everyone started talking about it this year -_-
Also Tom Odell - Another Love and Can't Pretend although he isn't hugely popular yet.

 

I guess you're talking about their newer stuff and I really don't wanna sound like a bitch, but Daft Punk is like, super cult. Their first album charted in '97

I'm going with Two Door Cinema Club and White Lies. Had some stuff of them on my laptop before their first albums were released.

Edit: this thread also reminded me of THIS.

 

Relative to the people around my age.

 

*looks at age*

...yeah, good point. I should look at stuff like that before posting.

 

I had a chance to see Adele before anyone really knew who she was. But I was cheap and stubborn, so I missed my chance. She was playing at a really small venue in Salt Lake City. The tickets were $8.00, but the ticket vendor was charging a $4.00 surcharge per ticket. I decided to wait and get tickets at the door. When I got there, they were sold out.

 

Boards of Canada, because they're to weird to be popular!

 

just the way you are-bruno mars
i had it memorised weeks before pple started even liking it

 

I remember seeing Katie Perry before she was popular (though I didn't particularly like her).

However, that's it. I'm pretty mainstream. I'm more or less the person who finds out about bands super late, they lose fad status, but I still listen to them long after everyone else has quit.

 

Let Her Go by Passenger. Popular in the UK, Dunno about other countries.

 

Rumour Has It and Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. I knew all the words (from playing it over and over in my room) by the time the radio was playing it.

 

I knew who Lorde was before she became popular, I was one of her first fans, I'm not lying.

 

I listened to music before it was cool!

 

Mr Personality - Gillette
Can't remember the songs but I had an inside track on No Doubt

Foxface

 

I listened to Owl City in general before Adam became popular.

 

I tend to listen to songs about 10-20 years after they're popular. Long live the 90s!

 

Just Dance by lady gaga =o
