Okay, I want everyone to name a singer or band that is great, but has never been heard of or is not well known.

I am kind of looking for some new music. I lucked up and heard an interview with the Decembersists on the radio and loved the music they were playing. I am buying their cd this week off of half.com (I am cheap) and would like to know what obscure yet good music everyone here at MT listens to.

Oh, I can think of a band you have never heard of.

The Boom- who are famous in Japan for their song Shima no Uta.

You might not know what they are singing about, and you might have problems finding it, but I think you will enjoy it if you locate a CD.

Edit- the following is a cover of their song by another band on Japanese television. If you like what you see, be assured that in my opinion the original is much better for a western way of listening to music. You won't go wrong looking them up in the music store IMO.

Boiled In Lead is a great band. Very eclectic, in a good way!

The Dorkestra—very eclectic, Bloomington Indiana-based band, terrifically accomplished musically—real virtuosos and very funny as well... don't know if they're still together, heard them in the early 1990s, have one of their CDs...

Hoyt Axton. He wrote Jeremiah was a bullfrog and had several songs that got airtime in the 70s. On a side note, his mom wrote Heartbreak Hotel.

Take Six: Accapella Jazz/Gospel vocal fusion in 6-part harmony. Have won numerous international awards, but because the genre is so 'niche', few have heard of them.

Joy Williams: My fav. female solo vocalist

Varga. Their two albums, Prototype and Oxygen are perhaps two of my most treasured. I believe they're Canadian. Industrial hard rock. Good stuff.
