Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.

I'm not trying to sound pretentious or overly individual and whatever, but there are some artists/bands out there that really deserve to have more publicity than the music from like Ke$ha and **** like that that in the charts, not saying the chart songs aren't good, but there are some hidden gems that need more attention!

Post your favourites/recommendations :smile:

Ratatat (electro and techno-ey but deserve SO MUCH MORE)

Scroobius Pip (british rap/spoken work - the lyrics are amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GvR8t2HDys)

Wait What (hes not someone in the charts, but is a youtube artist, who mased up the XX & Notorious B.I.G; beauty insues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFB4NMLSz9c)

The Beatles

Elbow are sooo underrated. Their music is innovative but moving and their lyrics are deeply poetic.
Also Them Crooked Vultures deserve more credit. John Paul Jones' crazy cool sounds really add to some great new music that pretty much stands independent of any other genre or trend of rock.

but there is already a thread about this :/ cant u look for it before making a new one? because otherwise it just becomes redundant

Canterbury - their debut album is free, just google "Canterbury thank you" they have just finished touring with You me at six so they'll start becoming more popular soon.
