The Grass Doctor - I'm looking for some obscure band recommendations...got any?

I'm looking for some obscure band recommendations...got any?

I have thousands of CDs/vinyls, but so you can get an idea of my taste in music (and so I don't get a long list of bands I already have), here are some of the artists that I have on my computer. Like I said, I have a lot of music so please try to be as obscure as possible with your suggestions. Thank you! ?

Ward Ween Muscles The Blow Hot Chip Les Savy Fav Cocorosie Devendra Banhart Tv On the Radio Royksopp Lykke Li MGMT The Knife Headlights Islands The Walkmen Eels
You don't have the three best bands in the world on that list! Green Day Evanescence Avenged Sevenfold Try: Black Tide Lacuna Coil Within Temptation
if you like elvis costello try joe jackson arcade fire (not that obscure) my bloody valentine lcd soundsystem gogol bordello (watch their live vid on youtube)
The Pierces!
Goon Moon: Same scene as Kyuss. I'm really surprised you have Kyuss on there but not Queens of the Stone Age. Do you not like them? Heatmiser: Rock band Elliott Smith was in before he started his solo career. Tomahawk: Patton's post-faith no more Alt Metal project. Fantomas: Patton's post-bungle avant-garde project. Buzzo from Melvins on guitar. Peeping Tom: Patton's hip-hop/pop project. Wipers: punk band NoMeansNo: punk band from Canada. They've been around forever. Yawning Man: stoner rock. same scene as kyuss. Earthlings?: experimental rock....or something. same scene as kyuss. Uz Jsme Doma: prog-punk from Czech republic. Capillary Action: avant-rock from the east coast. all Berkley grads. Slough Feg: NWOBHM revival. Valiant Thorr: same deal as slough feg....but better. Gogol Bordello: gypsy punk! Mano Negra: french punk band. Tijuana No!: mexican punk/ska band. better than it sounds. Molotov: alt metal from Mexico. Fishbone: punk/ska/funk metal from LA.
Wow JD, That's an impressive list. Here are a few: The Sadistic Mika Band - you might be able to find some vinyl for this early-70's band. Japanese group with Jazz-Rock leanings. eX-Girl - a female trio from Japan that play some wild-sounding music. Here's an a cappella number: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmPDOpwWzFw Nightwish - I didn't see this band on your list. Finnish Symphonic Metal, with glorious vocals by Tarja Turunen from 1998 to 2005: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9s0U7u70CE
Greatest female songwriter ever! Judee Sill Yes, I'll repeat this again and again till I die! Check out Bob Claster's site for free downloads: http://www.webnoir.com/bob/music/ Super Junky Monkey - female japanese metal hip-hop funk!!! And excellent too! http://sharebee.com/3d5e446e Edit: Hoho, Musicfan, you beat me by a few minutes delving in the nippon Rock heritage. I'll be checking ex-girl soon now! Ques: Is there any good male japanese rock band? They all seem feminine! Ooops, I guess I better make a new question for that one! Oh, Amalia Rodrigues - Rightly "The Queen of the Fado" Amazing voice

Wow, that's a lot. Well, I didn't notice Britney Spears there, try her. Nah, just kidding. I don't know, try some bands who aren't American or British, maybe some Swedish bands. Sweden is the third biggest exporter of music actually. Maybe the Hives?
You must have heard of them, but I just have to say Cheap Trick and the New Pornographers! *I just thought of a band not on your list: "Wallace Collection" (1968) (you may recognize their song "Daydream" used by "Lupe Fiasco" and then used in a cell phone commercial with cell phones coming out of flowers). ...And I had a friend who liked this band called "Blof" from the Netherlands; check them out on Wikipedia.
