Lesser Known Favorites :D Share, SHARE!

C'mon guys, you know you have stumbled across some gems that are just fucking incredible, right? Wonder why they're not better known? Well shit... Share 'em, because if you're anything like me you LOVE finding new music to groove out to... Music is life.
Here are mine, give 'em a listen ya'know?

1) Jackie Greene ~ Blues, Rock n Roll... This kid has an old soul, and honestly his older albums are insane - this guy reminds you of Bob Dylan - but has his own unique feelin' that makes it almost absurd to relate the two.

2) Neko Case ~ Reminiscent of Tanya Donnely of Belly but with a country twang, her music is amazing and is great to just float on her cloud while smokin... soulful, beautiful, mellow and bittersweet.

3) Lucinda Williams ~ She's been around for awhile, and her country-bluesy feel with a raspy edge is just a wonderful treat. She is fuckin' awesome. I love throwin' her into the player on the way home from work, I am grinnin' by the time I hit home.

4) Todd Snider - If tomorrow never comes, I don't give a damn... Todd Snider's quirky and comedic perspective dominates the lyrics, and while his music is downright catchy and addicting, the lyrics have you laughing your ass off. Fuckin' love this guy.

5) Gov't Mule - Sure a lot of you have heard of them, but still they're just too awesome to not mention.FUCKYEAH.

I have more but wanna hear from YOU all... c'mon, now.
Happy toking~

Arghoslent

Metal. Though in the same way that Children of Bodom are most accurately classified as 'power metal with harsh vocals', Arghoslent could be defined as modernized NWOBHM that just happens to feature a vocalist who opts to utilize a much more extreme approach. They have a way of fusing ingenious blast-fueled riff-assaults with hints of neoclassical and folk (without veering into *non-traditional* territory as far as instruments go. It's all so fluidly modern and old school simaltaneously.

Note: their career has been clouded by controversy due to racial issues which I'm sure will become quite apparent if you open that link. This has led to them being unfortunately obscure. Notice though, that they racked up a load of fiercly positive reviews despite that.

mp3s available here

Without a shred of a doubt, they've been my number one favorite for quite a while now.

I'm not sure how lesser known they are is in this crowd, but my favorite is

Nick Drake - One of the best songwriters ever imo. He's music can truly take you places. GREAT while high. indie Rock, his best CD imo is Bryter Layter. If you've never listened to the album please do.


Belle & Sebastian - indie rock also, they do a lot of weird and innovative things in their music. My fav CD is The boy with the arab strap. Again its great to get high to.

Summoning - Epic Atmospheric Metal - What I like about Summoning is their ability to take a musical idea and expand on it until it is exhausted. They almost never throw their song into a totally unrelated direction. They're composing ability is unmatched. They use A LOT of keyboards and slow, bombastic drums. It's very different than anything you've probably heard. They take a while to grow on you, like they did for me, but now they might as well be my favorite band.

Al Di Meola - Jazz Fusion/Flamenco - Al is an incredible guitarist whether he's playing electric or acoustic. Probably one of the best ever. He released a string of Jazz fusion albums in the 70's that I consider some of the best in the genre. He's amazing live too (Saw him last October).

Xavier Rudd --- He does acoustic/indie music I guess is what you'd classify it as? He's kind of a one man band, plays a lot of slide guitar and didgeridoo, which is awesome. Anything with didgeridoo has the potential for awesomeness. Really chill relaxed music. Especially check him out if you like Jack Johnson.

I'll come back and add more later.
