Turtle Buddy. but that's cause they're hardly around eachother long enough to write a song. I know this because my sister in collage knows them

This isn't just newer music is it?

If it is newer music then I'm going to go with Ghostland Observatory. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGpn_HeTSgM]

If we're allowed older things then I've yet to meet another fan of China Crisis. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEA7NlFDazI]

Knowing my luck watch every person who responds say "Them? Lesser-known? Hah!" Nevertheless no one I have ever talked to about music has heard of them.

NO ONE.

Which is odd, considering that they're both supposedly fairly well known.

Apparently my friends just suck at music.

No you are not.
I am in fucking love with Thrice.

Two of my favorites are The Lion And The Wolf [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCn2r5gv58] and Artist In The Ambulance [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXoDtkliSgY].
I am vaguely aware those are probably the ones "everyone likes", but I don't much care.
They rock.

Mindless Self Indulgence is awesome, though I wouldn't call them obscure. And Interpol made it into Rock Band, so they can't be that unknown.

Nightwish, Flogging Molly, The Drop Kick Murphys, Plushgun, Most of the artists from digitally imported and Pandora.
Dude, I'm not into that genre at all, and even I've heard of Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys.

Anyway, my example is a weird one: The Derek Trucks Band. Trucks toured with the Allman Brothers for over a decade and is now an official member, he was called the best slide guitarist since Duane Allman by the Wallstreet Journal, and he's been on the cover of magazines, including Rolling Stone, multiple times. That said, no one I've talked to has heard of him. I know this can't be true and he has to have a pretty decent sized following just based on some of the figures I've seen, but aside from my brother who got me into the band in the first place, no one's heard of them. I mean, the best I got was showing a guy the following video on my iPod, to which he said "Oh yeah, that's the guy who plays with the Allman Brothers".

You are the first person i have met who has ever heard of them. non of my friends, even though we share almost identical music tastes, has ever heard of them.
My personal favourites are Deadbolt (great for forts and stuff in oblivion) and Ultra Blue

As my post stated,both those bands are unheard of here in Iceland.

And Kyuss made it into a GH game.That doesn't change the fact that not a lot of people know of them.

Nick Cave.Unknown.BWAHAHAHAHA.
My rule is: If no one else talks about them, they're unknown to everyone but me :p
Same for me. as I said above, my example is actually fairly big, but I have yet to meet a single other person who's heard of them. Therefore, they're obscure to me, whether they actually are or not.

Colour Haze is a cool jam band
Check out their Cds Tempel and their eponymous album
Also Clutch has a sweet blues-rock sound
The Beatles, theres more there than All You Need Is Love and Yellow Submarine
and if you're an emo out there, stop listening to Eleanor Rigby YOU ARE RUINING IT

Amen to that.
Thinking about it a bit more I guess I should temper that statement with that I don't know jack shit about what most of them listen to either.

I couldn't name a single song off the newest Black Eyed Peas CD to save my life.

I am now firmly of the opinion that "lesser-known" is completely dependent on where you're from, seeing as Flogging Molly, Mindless Self Indulgence, Drop Kick Murphys, Streetlight Manifesto, and Aphex Twin are all decently well-known where I am.

My two cents would be Dresden Dolls (relatively known, I guess), Amanda Palmer (well-knownish on these forums for some reason), and Humanwine.

Anco and aphex twin obscure? hahahahhahahhahahhahahahhahaha.
Go. Die. You are everything wrong with the world.

I've never even heard of them. That's not the point. The point is your idiotic elitism over a subjective topic. You're worthless.
