19 brilliant artists who deserve to be much bigger than they are
Remind us again why these acts aren't playing stadiums?
The Decemberists: Singing songs of murder, betrayal and infanticide in bygone times, they're often credited as the band that paved the way for Mumford & Sons - albeit much less contrived and far more poetic and forward-thinking. It's a shame they haven't matched the same stadium success as Mumford, but we love them all the same. Essential track: 'We Both Go Down Together'
We've tried our hardest to think of a way to phrase this without sound like an insufferable music snob, but we can't, so here goes: there are a lot of bands who sell out stadiums who are really, really terrible.
We're not going to name names though - at least not right now. Instead, we're going to pay attention to some of the artists that don't get as much as they deserve. There are some bands you love, but, seeing as they play Swedish and experimental fusion acid rock with an afrobeat, you kind of get why they're not quite reaching No.1. There are others though, like this lot, who tick every singe box for stardom, and yet for some reason haven't quite got there.
Here are 20 artists who deserve to be a whole lot bigger than they are.
