Well, you've probably heard of a lot of bands others haven't, seeing that you are "SLIGHTLY more knowledgable than your typical music listener." So, if you've heard of them or not, I suggest these bands.
The Strokes
Triumph of Gnomes
The Fratellis
Aphex Twin

ben jelen is pretty good
Un-known Hinson, Robert Fox, Ian Brown, Ben Harper, Citizen Cope, Taproot, Non-point....
The Hero Factor. Amazing band from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Trust me on this one.
Newton Faulkner and try Seasick Steve. Let me know what you think please.
If you fancy a bit of latin - give andy montanez a try (salsaton - which is a mixture of salsa and reggaeton if you havent heard of it)
Also, not everyone has heard of reggaeton latino... give it a go if you havent - id recommend wisin y yandel, don omar
the cult of the psychic fetus---- they are actually rockabilly, or devotchka

Derek Webb isn't mainstream. He's known as a "Christian" artist, but a lot of his songs are just typical rock songs (if you don't think you'd be into Christian music). He recently had a song featured on Grey's Anatomy ("Name") that's pretty good.
The Elders are an Irish band out of KC. They are fantastic. Don't know your style, but my two fav songs on American Wake are "Moore St. Girls" and "Ballymun Road."
They aren't mainstream nowadays, so depending on how old you are, you may not know of Urge Overkill or Seven Mary Three. I'd start with Saturation or Exit The Dragon for UO if you were to get an album...Bottle of Fur and The Break are two UO songs that were on the radio. I love View Of The Rain off ETD. For 7M3, American Standard or Rock Crown are the best albums. I'd recommend "Headstrong" and the title track on RC. Those rock the hardest if that's what you're into. There's lots of good mellow songs too.
Another mainstream, but unappreciated album is the Slash's Snakepit album Ain't Life Grand. I don't see how anyone who likes hard rock wouldn't love that album. "Been There Lately" is a pretty good sample of that album.
Good luck!

"Everything" By Josh Todd
Buried way beneath the sheets I think she’s having a meltdown
Finding it hard to fall asleep she won’t let anyone help her
The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her eyes
I want ta be I want everything, I want everything
Somewhere she is on the streets trying to make things better
Praying to God and breathing deep gotta break this long obsession
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
If I had everything would I still want to be alive or want to be high (2x’s)
Now and then she talks to me and sometimes writes me letters
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Your eyes, never close your eyes open up your mind and you can have everything
