Question:
What is your favorite band or grou, that most people have not heard before, but should!!?
If you have never heard of a band called OURS you must check them out!! distorted lullabies is great!! Give them a chance, Jimmy Gnecco's Vocals are unrivaled... heavy and dark at times with vocals so pure it can resonate into your soul!!
Also Check out Jackie Greene, American Myth is Awesome Album, rockish almost bordering on rolling stones, great music!!
The greatest ever is easily Jeff Buckley, if you never heard of him you are the luckiest person on earth to hear him for the first time..!!! Stop what your doing right now, go buy Grace and sketches for my sweetheart the drunk.. two albums that came from heaven.. Im serious!!
Leave your comments and lets share in some music together!!

Answers:
Jeff Buckley is WOW.......no words to describe him......he's only really known as that guy who did the version of Hallelujah that is so haunting. This guy had a great voice with so much depth and emotion and power. His music was amazing.....its a shame that many don't know who he is. Beginners to Jeff might want to pick up So Real or Grace (a masterpiece)....doesn't really matter since 8 out of the 10 tracks on Grace appear on So Real. Live at Sin-e and Live at L'Olympia are definite acquisitions for Buckley lovers.
Sooo.......back on track......Dramagods is a band I definitely recommend. They're huge in Japan. I was introduced to them via Nuno Bettencourt......the lead guitarist/vocalist for the band, also guitarist from Extreme (of "More Than Words" fame). Man, the musicality and talent of this band blows me away. Their cd Love is available on iTunes......and that's pretty much the only place you can get it.....unless you want to pay an obscene amount for an imported copy.
William Elliott Whitmore is another great artist in which many do not know about......I had the pleasure to meet and see him in March when he opened up for the Pogues. Listening to him, he has a Johnny Cash/Tom Waits sound, its bluegrass/soul......great music. He sounds like a 60 year old broken man who in all reality is a handsome 20 something. His albums (Hymn of the Hopeless, Songs of the Blackbird, Ashes to Dust) are full of emotion that just reach into your core............man, good stuff
