Shooter Jennings.

Everything he's ever done:

Electric Rodeo:

Put the O back in Country:

The Wolf:

All three of the above are good country/rock albums. I don't particularly like country music, but this isn't the poppy country crap that you find on the radio.

His newest record is with a reworked band/sound called Hierophant and the album is called Black Ribbons:

It's an amazing concept album and you can't say that it fits into one specific genre. Sounds like Pink Floyd at times, other times it sounds like NIN, other times it sounds like Skynyrd. Read these reviews:

I'm not sure why Shooter isn't more famous...well, I do know why: Cause he doesn't sound like the **** you hear on the radio.

Any Built to Spill fans? Band sounds ALOT like Modest Mouse if you like that kind of music.

Also The New Mastersounds, Lotus and Perpetual Groove. If you like real JAM, you HAVE to check them out. Especially Lotus. One of my favorite jam bands at the moment.

I love Built to Spill. They're opening for Kings of Leon Aug. 7th at Jiffy Lube and are in richmond one saturday in october, not sure which show I will see yet.

I saw Lotus at bonnaroo. Pretty tight

that's awesome. I wanted to go to All Good, but wasn't able to this year. I've never made it up there, but hopefully next year. You should try to make your way down for the BTS show is october, it's at the national and only 20 I think

edit: make your way up I should say. Also, I saw Minus the Bear in Charlotte earlier this year. Heard of them?

Arctic Monkeys, but they're probably pretty well known

Arctic Monkeys is my favorite band right now. I would recommend

to go along with them. It's another Jack White creation. They might be popular, I never listen to the radio.

Wolfmother is another good one, even though their second album is basically a new band. I would guess most people have heard their songs at one time or another, (one of their songs is in the movie "The Hangover") but might not know the actual band.

Dude they are pretty sick. I hadn't heard of them til you just mentioned em. Looked em up on youtube. I love their style. My Time is a ridiculously catchy song.

I like Gillian Welch an awful lot. She plays with Dave Rawlings, and people might know her voice from the O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack.

It's an americana sound, if you like that. Here's the song that people might recognize.

Ok, there's tons more that I listen to, but stuff that is somewhat known like Dream Theater, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Gojira, Mastodon, Jeff Beck, LTE (duh with Dream Theater), A Perfect Circle, Porcupine Tree, SYL, Redemption, Spheric Universe Experience, Steve Morse Band, Threshold, and various others, but these guys aren't necessarily obscure enough that nobody has heard their stuff before. I'm fairly confident that 95% of you have no idea who the three artists above are. I hope y'all enjoy. :)

Also, I've got tons of stuff in my itunes that simply has no home on the internet, most of it is jazz, so maybe someday if I get permission to host it on youtube I'll post some.

For people mentioning Coheed and Cambria:

When I hear their technicality and musical talent (and their more progressive songs) my eyes light up with delight.

Then their singer opens his mouth, the chorus starts and the talent disappears into just another emo-influenced crap-fest. The sheer progressive might of the riff in "Welcome Home" is incredible in that it's both catchy and complex. They have other moments of extreme brilliance which makes it all the more sad that I can't stomach their music as a whole. I think their singer tries way over the top to channel Geddy Lee while imitating the emo craptastic singing style of, well, emo bands. Rush is an awesome band, and Geddy's singing works for their music, but man, I just can't stand Coheed's singer.

Dr. Dog.

Fantastic - hipster, jammy, unique. Depth of lyrics, melodies, my new favorites. They remind of Ween an little bit.
