This board has turned me on to some kick ass bands. Just wanted to ask some fellow jammers (w/ excentric tastes) WHAT ARE THE BEST BANDS I HAVEN'T HEARD??? Post links if you got em'

Lately I've been really in bands like:
Drive by Truckers
Kings of Leon
Gov't Mule

Thanks, all responses are appriciated :D

    Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that's what we need.

    The John Butler Trio if you though know them yet. Toured with Gov't Mule a few years back and starting to get fairly big attention in the jam band circles.

    You Am I . (if you haven't noticed freewheelin mentioning them on this board.) I love this great band.

    Yeah, John Butler Trio - I love Zebra
    They're playing Saturday @ the Seattle Bumbershoot Festival this year. That will be after two nights of Pearl Jam for me, so I won't be going.
    Walking can be a real trip

    EVERYBODY has heard of Faith No More.
    Mike Patton is worshiped as some sort of vocal god.
    One time I was trying to print a picture of me so I could give it to a friend to cheer him up after he was diagnosed with cancer, but the printer jammed, and my friend died.

    Well i'm sure a lot of people have heard of these bands but maybe someone hasn't. some of my favorite not quite mainstream bands are:

    built to spill
    minus the bear

    Another one i'm getting into now is Dredg

    these are more well known but still very good

    They're pretty good.

    Danko Jones, they've been around for a while, and still one of the most under-rated Canadian bands of today. I hear they're very well known in Europe though.
