For some reason it kind of reminds me of a mix of techno and Cold Play at some points. I'm not sure why. But its catchy. I'm going to add it to my playlist for music for a party I may have at my house sometime.

On their way up, they pull off some great Electro, gutted I didn't get tickets to see them.

Warp's probably my favorite House track at the moment, awesome stuff, one of those tracks that you can lose it to.
I love Enter Shikari's new album, it's more Drum & Base than the last album but it's still good. Anyone who doesn't know them and would like to listen to a band that mixes heavy metal, screamo and trance together; look 'em up (Weird combo, I know).

I love Coldplay's new album: Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. If no one has ever heard of them, listen to them.

Also, Within Temptation is a good Dutch band Grin

"The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion" by Dredg

I've heard of this band previously, but I don't think they're very mainstream. Anyhow, I stumbled across their newest album earlier today and I've been listening to it a lot. It's pretty mellow artsty/progressive rock. Reminds me of a more experimental/artsy Muse.

I highly recommend the album. It's pretty lengthy (18 tracks total), woven together by a pretty obscure and arcane narrative, but the music is really good and the way the album seamlessly flows together is really cool.

Nice and relaxing tune

Read the OP.
United States of Eurasia by Muse (Psst. This is their new song from their new album)

Warning for those that don't like Queen, it sounds a lot like Queen.

Tomorrow by LITE

Japanese mathrock band ftw

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 by Coheed and Cambria

You can tell by know how much I love Coheed, and this song is one of the best ones from their entire discography. Lengthy yes but is it awesome? You'd be the judge. Also, more Coheed for you.

Urm...Bey Brad...they are remixes, not original songs

Judging by the views on YouTube, and the views that the original music/video has gotten, and the fact that Pokémon is an incredibly popular thing, I would say you are not making anybody discover something they could not have found on their own. I am quite certain that searching "Abandoned Ship Pokémon" on YouTube would have eventually led them to the remix done by PokeRemixStudio. It is in fact the third result on the first page of the research.

What Roan would appreciate having in this topic is artists or albums whose names should leave the obscurity, because they have real talent somewhere. Had you ever heard about any of the artists mentioned previously in this thread (besides Muse perhaps) ?
Plus, you barely explained lengthily why you liked those songs, which is one of the rules Roan established in the first post.
This is a band called Cargo City. I like acoustic music, so I heard them recently and really liked it.

So since DKS seems to think I listen to Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers, I decided I would post about what I've been listening to lately.

Shiina Ringo

Shiina Ringo is both an incredible solo artist and the vocalist of the band Tokyo Jihen. While most of her music is predominantly in Japanese, she also does a large amount of songs in English, with some in German and French. Her music spans an incredible amount of genres from electronica to blues. Here are a few songs of hers that I really enjoy:

Bjork

Bjork is a world-renowned and critically acclaimed pop musician. Her music uses pop and electronica sounds combined with a bizarre vocal style and lyrics that touch on the subtlety of human emotions and love.

BrooklynBEGA, that sounded nothing like Queen ;p The only connection I could make was the use of keyboards.

I apologize in advance since I realize some of the bands I'm about to mention are pretty well known. The reason I think these tracks are worth mentioning are due to the fact no one has heard them. Like the case with most, all of their best stuff never gets any radio play. I'm going to have fun with this.

A Certain Romance - The Artic Monkeys

The Artic Monkeys are quite popular in the UK but get very limited play in North America considering how many great tracks they have. There song 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' gained some popularity, but other than that you never really hear from them. I recommend them to people who enjoy the sound of classic rock and find cockney accents charming. A Certain Romance is my favorite song of theirs hands down, manly because how infectious the percussion is through out.

The Coast is Always Changing - Maximo Park

I recommend Maximo Park is anyone who liked the Artic Monkies. Again, another very British band with a great flow to them and an original sound. I have never met another human being that has heard of Maximo Park... maybe in the UK?

Where Did Your Heart Go Missing? - Rooney

An incredibly fun band that gets no attention. They've toured with several popular mainstream groups but have never gotten too much press themselves. This is incredibly lighthearted stuff, so you've been warned. I honestly don't like a majority of this bands music, but the tracks Where Did Your Heart Go Missing and All In Your Head deserve a mention.

Silence is Golden - The Tremeloes

WARNING: DINOSAUR MUSIC!!
Not so much an artist recommendation but a song. This is far from an unknown song or a new band. Silence is Golden was written in 1967 for the popular American band the Four Seasons and was rerecorded and gained popularity from the British band The Tremeloes. This song was quite a hit, but one of the many British Invasion tracks that doesn't get the recognition it deserves today. It's virtually unknown to all the younger crowd I've spoken too. Although the sound was pretty standard for the time, I've never heard anything like these lyrics before. Describing a bystander who's witnessing another be unfaithful to a woman they love and unsure if whether or not they should come forward. The lyrics are elegant and simple. A beautiful, beautiful song.

'Since You've Been Gone' - Rainbow

Again, another hit that no one seems to remember today. One of my favorite guitar solos. One of my favorite songs period, a hard rock classic. VH1 listed Rainbow 90th on there list of 100 top Rock Artists. Formed by Deep Purple guitarist and later featured an early Dio (although he's not the vocalist on this track) this song if from the manly-man period of rock. Despite being a hit, I've heard this played once on the radio several years back, 2am by Alice Cooper... and come on, they're called RAINBOW.

'The Man Who Sold The World' - Lulu ft. David Bowie

Okay, I know. Everyone has heard this song. Not original by far. Everyone has heard the original David Bowie classic or the Nirvana cover. Despite being a song known by everyone and their dog, this has to be the most original covers I've heard and also one of the weirdest sounds. Lulu is an incredible singer who doesn't get enough attention for her voice. She's more well known for her James Bond theme 'The Man With The Golden Gun' and the title track for the movie 'To Sir With Love'. She's hella popular in the UK, but this is still one of the strangest sounds I've ever heard. Interesting to say the least.

Again, sorry if anyone is disappointed with my recommendations!

They're an 8bit Rave pop band from England, don't know if many people here will be familiar with the show Skins, but they featured on the trailer for a series 3 episode.
I think they've got a really fresh kinda feel to them, and brilliant sampling, but I'll let you guys decide for yourselves.

The_Lumberman, just to let you know Arctic Monkeys are actually from Sheffield; that's where the accent comes from, not London. ;]
