The Posies 

A great but criminally little-known alt rock group around mostly in the eighties and nineties. Best songs: (In my opinion!) Solar Sister, Earlier than Expected. Heavily influenced by Big Star, and they sound like they were influenced by Teenage Fanclub. Most popular album is probably Frosting On The Beater.
Me: Er, I like The Posies?
Other person: You what?
