i know theres a lot of popular bands out there that are heard about all over, that always make good music, but im more interested in hearing some bands you guys have found that sound good that maybe not everybodys heard of (or at least not me)

Insania
Axenstar
Sabaton
Luca Turillis dreamquest

To name a few

Could you be a little more specific? You could be listening to Britney Spears or Behemoth for all I know

If you have a winamp, you can listen to online radio stations, this is how I usually get new music these days.

My new obsession The Parlor Mob

Testament
Pantera
Albert King
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Eric Clapton

Good way to find bands w/ some detail from the reviewers in GMC.

I like two bands and I don't think they are famous: The Screaming Jets - Ozrics Tentacles - Eddie Vedder solo - Davin Townsend.

Ozric Tentacles are awesome. I saw them live and they nearly blew my ears off. Psychedelic craziness is awesome And Eddie Vedder is just awesome anyway

Download Last fm and type in a band that you like and it will play songs legally on radio that are similar to that band. Or type in a genre and the same occurs. It's a great way to expand your music.
