Bands that only you seem to like

Title says it all.
My nomination: Tindersticks. First four albums almost perfect; second a gold plated classic

But I'll throw in The Lemonheads. I'm hearing perfect indie pop classics, everyone else is just getting annoyed by Evan Dando.
Split Enz - New Zealand's finest, only downside is that they turned into Crowded House which isn't the biggest downside now, is it?
I'll see your Lemonheads and I'll raise you The Julianna Hatfield Three!
The Lemonheads were cracking, 'It's A Shame About Ray' is one of the albums of the nineties.
I have all their albums. They're all great. No one else I know has even a remotely passing nod to them

Sorry, I like XTC.
China Drum, Garageland, Yumi Yumi, Charge 69, C0ck Sparrer, Anti-Flag, Consumed, Divokej Bill, Tankcsapda (OK, the last 2 are cheating a bit as they're popular in their home countries)
I love Tindersticks too. My all time favourite band of all time. Durutti Column is one I seem to like but nobody else has heard of.
How about some of these? The Berzerker, Darkthrone, Deadwood, Folkstorm, Half Makeshift, Nekrasov, Nordvargr, Rapoon, Schloss Tegal, Sleep Research Facility,Troum and last but not least ][l][.
Cannondale CAAD8
No doubt there will be some enlightened, but not a band I can talk about without people saying "Who?".
I am not sure. You have no chance.
'Ramones on a budget' style of music and way off the end of the non-PC scale in a very tongue in cheek way. They even got an article written about them in the Guardian:

Watching them live as a student was something else.

rarely I come across people that have heard of either
I don't know anyone that leftfield but a band called La Fleur Fatale have some good tunes I took from a windsurfing film a few years ago.

'Sweaty Betty' is still my favourite track.

Matt Johnson's criminally underrated IMO and some of the tracks off Infected and Mind Bomb are unnervingly contemporary yet prescient.
And beautiful.
Johnny Marr plays guitar... great band...
The future was written by Matt Johnson in 1989
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
Leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East toward the West
With Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
Armageddon Days Are Here (again)
It's just a hill. Get over it.
Obvious choice: The Go-Betweens
Or: On a hip-hop theme: Aim
It's just a hill. Get over it.
Consolidated
Phew, not many laughs there. Lighten up, guys.
Easterhouse
It's just a hill. Get over it.
"I knew that she wanted me to shag her
So I stabbed her c*nt with my mutton dagger"
Classic
I always thought they were more Anti-Nowhere League than Ramones.
