Favorite songs/artists you listen to that most people never heard of
 

What artists/music do you like and listen to, that most people or no one you know has ever heard of? Like moe.ron said in his "One Hit Wonder" thread, there's a limit of 5 songs.

Here's mine:

Love her :) have you heard her song with Blake Lewis (American idol)? It's pretty cool -- bit of a different sound


I get super protective of my "non mainstream" favorite artists. I feel like revealing them will bring overexposure lol

Therapy? - Nowhere

Dig - Believe

Don't know if this will fit the category:

Sugar - Hoover Dam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBqZHPTCV58

It sounds dramatic, but I was broken hearted when I heard Disclosure on top 40 radio. I've loved Latch for years. But I'm glad what it's done for Sam Smith - he's fantastic.

I also love Samantha James. :)

Goldfish - Fort Knox

Dispatch

I LOVE Within Temptation!

Here is a cover they did of David Guetta's "Titanium." IMO, it's better than the original!

"Shot in the Dark" (One of my favorites!)

Washed Out - "Feel It All Around"

Needle In The Hay is a beautiful haunting song. Unfortunately, Elliott Smith is no longer with us.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pyBB7y8fDU

A couple of my other favorite songs aren't from one hit wonders, but definitely on the more obscure side.

And I've got one from a local band that if I can figure out how to link it, I'll add it later.

I'm with you! Within Temptation and Evanescence are two of my favorite bands. My copy of "Fallen" lives in my car.
