In this topic, we list 5 bands that we all know and love, but might be somewhat obscure, and suggest them to other people :D

1) Cinematic Sunrise
2) Anthony Green
3) AFI (I'm talking about the old stuff. Everyone knows about December Underground, but who has actually listened to Shut Your Mouth and Open your Eyes?)
4) Rise Against (Everyone knows Swing Life Away, but I love the other albums by them.)
5) Art of Dying

Post away!
 
1. Crossfade
2. Greenday
3. Weezer
4. Red Hot Chilli Peppers
5. Hed Pe ( 18+ it's a adult rap/rock band but it's pretty decent)

Well I'm done I seriously recommend all 5 if you haven't seen/ heard of them
 
Well, it depends on the genre you like.

1. Rhapsody of Fire (dark metal, totally safe for listening by all, unlike some other metal groups. I believe they are from Italy.)
2. DragonForce (Power metal, with kind of inspiring messages. Plus, holy crap, they are virtuosic, in a weird sort of way)
3. Dave Brubeck Quartet (50's jazz, some of the best stuff on the face of the planet)
4. Focus (70's metal... with yodelling, and various odd instruments, including flute and whistling. From Sweden. Don't judge a book by it's cover, it's actually excellent.)
5. Great Big Sea (Canadian band from St. John's, Newfoundland. Excellent dance music. It's folky sometimes, but I would suggest listening before you judge.)

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U"]Focus - Hocus Pocus[/ame] (give this one a minute or two, it gets awesome after the first minute or so.)

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AvkyHCU7XU"]Great Big Sea - Ordinary Day[/ame] (one of their early songs... great song to get you up. The video is... iffy :) )



EDIT : if anyone wants to know more about these bands, PM me! I know a lot about jazz history, and I know a lot about great big sea and rhapsody. The other two a bit less so.

Note: Most people do not like this music, at least where I live but I do. Take caution with all of these. All have profane language. Children of Bodom has language but most cannot be understood :D
1. Avenged Sevenfold
2. Children of Bobom
3. Deathstars
4. Dimmu Borgir
5. My Chemical Romance (despite media claims they are anti-suicide as you can tell by listening to the lyrics)

Nice music Dreadmaker.

I would just like to make a quick point : Children of Bodom was also a very close call for my top five.

I figured I already 2 metal bands in there however. Bodom is, in fact, a different type of metal, and the reason I didn't post is that Both of the ones I posted are safe for all ears. On certain bodom songs, you can't understand what they are saying, but some it's clear enough.

I actually found that if you are mature enough to handle it, they are good for a laugh about how ridiculously awful their messages are. But, they are still a good band, with interesting music.
 
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

You'll never find a more diverse group of instruments or instrumentalists

steel drums
some sort of drums native to India
Bass
Banjo
saxophone
bassoon
Drumitar (synthisyzer buttons duct taped to a guitar neck/body)

that is all.

Edit:

youtube link to my two favorite songs of theirs:
