Let's start with an obvious one.
>>
Hendrix, not famous during his active years?
Oh, no. I guess hang in out with The Beatles, having an open rivalry with The Who, and having Brian Jones fly out to a music festival for the sole purpose of introducing you to your own countrymen at your very first big concert in your home country means you're an unknown. What was I thinking? I guess all those documentaries on Jimi Hendrix had it all wrong, eh, OP?

Such thing doesn't exist (at least in music)

The experience was nowhere near as popular as you make it out to be. They were famous, sure, but Hendrix was more of a star amongst musicians rather than the public.

This thread is about people who weren't famous, not about who wasn't popular.

There IS a difference between the two.
And for the record, Jimi Hendrix was way more popular than you give hi credit for.

You're not English, are you?

Jimi was the worlds highest paid rock musician in 1969 and headlined fucking Woodstock. Cant get more famous than that.
