Go on, then.

Thought Sleep was an ambient artist, then i heard Dopesmoker.

I assumed Radiohead would be a techno band until I stumbled upon the Just video late in 96.

Just as bad though, eh? :wink:

I thought Maybeshewill were some sort of pop punk thing until my mate got me a ticket to see them on their last tour

Napalm Death. Didn’t realise that they’d be so influenced by early Joan Baez.

Mannequin Pussy would be my serious answer. I though it would be an artist that produced short screaming songs. Turns out they’re a brilliant indie rock band. Nice people too from their live set around Tufnell Park about a month ago.

Drugdealer thought that they would be angry punks rather than folky indie.
Godspeed you black emperor! Thought they would be some flavour of metal.
