The Mars Volta are always good, but they have a song with over 1million views so I'll go with the new Transmissions, with their fabulous library of 2 songs!
Of course I love all music Homestuck, but it's not a band, the songs are made up of collaborations of loads of artists.

Listener is the best music you will ever hear made with a washing machine.

Gomez Quite unknown considering how long they've been around

Oh and I liked them BEFORE Greys Anotamy or whatever it was on

 

[eternal-chaplain]

I'd say Voltaire, but I noticed a guy on the first page took that one, so I'm going to go with the more-known 'Creature Feature.'

It's got to be Phantom Cowboys, a psychobilly band that only put out one album.

Can't even find a good Youtube link for them...

 

[Lev The Red]

lately, i'v been listening to a lot of Russian music. the main two are Leningrad and Lyube. i dont know if they count, because they're mainstream in Russia, just not here.

[CrawlingPastaHellion]

"Canvas Solaris" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIVwDnOXtPw], imho: even "God is an Astronaut" pales in comparison to how obscure that band actually is.

Bugger it, ninja'd. I'm not such a fan of Gravity of Light, but Suffer Our Pleasures is goddammned amazing.

Actually, Suffer Our Pleasures is my favourite album of theirs. Should've posted Rider of the Last Day. Just so many awesome Tarot songs that it's hard to choose, though... (I love all their albums in different ways, including their latest.) Great to see that there are other Tarot fans here!

You know what? I'm going to post Rider of the Last Day anyway.


Here's my other favourite from Suffer while I'm at it: Convulsions.


*looks at lyrics in video* Huh. You know, I really need to check my lyrics booklet for this album (at least, I seem to recall it having one; I've had it for a long time). I always thought this song started with "chains over the suit of flesh"...
