I thought this may be a fun thread for people looking for new music from artists they haven't heard from that get your stamp of approval. From me I recommend the album Nowhere by Ride for all those alternative lovers out there. How about you.
Recommend an album that no one has heard of.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
not your average take on black/death. a masterpiece if you're into such music. Meccano Mind by Syntax.
Drop Nineteens - Delaware
A practically unknown but incredible shoegazing band that came and went in the early '90s. Every so often I'll feature them in WAYLT in the hopes that somebody will experience them for the first time and fall in love with their blissed out jangly guitars. Just listen to the song in its entirety and just veg out....
Melodeath band that is famous in my area. Their debut EP, not too shabby. Saw them live last year in July, so awesome.

Still Life by Aqualung
A great album for easy listening.
Like You Do - Lightning Seeds
Another example of 90s british indie-pop at its finest.
Adult Nights by Wild Light. great debut band of 2009
lol
4. Pulp- Freaks
Film-Guy
Oh my God yes. I couldn't really get into Pulp, but this album and Jarvis Cocker's solo albums are incredible. Life Must Be So Wonderful is such a powerful song.
I recommend Duchess Says' Anthologie des Trois Perchoirs. It's a local band (Montreal), and despite the album's name the lyrics are in english. They make very energic and abrasive synth-punk, there's not a bad song to be found on the record. Awesome live band too, they've been supporting Yeah Yeah Yeah's in their european tour and I've heard many say they practically stole the show!
Great US black metal band, very unique amongst it's genre. I highly recommend this album to anyone interested in metal. My favorite song: Dream Sleep Sorcery
Not all that unknown, but I've only meet a couple people that know them (or rather, know him) Fantastic one man orchestral pagan metal band. 
Jahreszeiten by Nargaroth. Think of it as a black metal version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, truely a unique album and very enjoyable to listen to.
Good stuff.

Parallel Uni-Verses by Del the Funky Homosapien & Tame One
Definetely the best hip-hop album of 2009.
No hip-hop fan should miss this (especially the underground ones).
You can listen to the whole album for free here.
This definitely.
.
This album.
I'm even having a hard time finding pictures of it on the internet. :?
Jurassic Shift by Ozric Tentacles.
This is my favorite track off of the album. Very good psychedelic instrumental rock band.
Folly - Insanity Later
House Of Fools - Live and Learn
Dr. Acula - Below Me!

Interesting. I heard the album some time ago but I remember thinking to myself it was just washed up rappers uniting and adefinite pass. Maybe I'll give it a second look.
"S.S. Recognise" is the bomb.
Immaculate Machine - One's and Zero's
great pop-y rock album from a Vancouver, BC, band, complete with keyboards and two-part harmonies.
i heartily recommend "Fire in the Lobby", "Army", and "Phone Number" (which is all about booty calls!)
Akphaezya. Jazzy prog rock/metal with a female vocalist.
Ima Robot - Ima Robot
I have been listening to that band recently, the vocalist is amazing. She goes from blues to black metal really fast. Anyways, here is my obscure Album:

Jarvis cocker's recent solo album wasnt as great as his first but I still loved it. Its funny that Pulp only got popular when they released their later album Different clases. Not saying that is a bad album, but it doesnt have the emotional songs that their earlier albums like Freaks, and It have. My favorite album of theirs is This is Hardcore. If you like Freaks you should try listening to that one.
Beyond The Doors Of The Pit by Avatar (Savatage) from 1979
Sorry there aren't many good, large pictures of the cover.
I think this band is pretty well known in certain parts of Europe, but much less known in the US and other parts of the world, i got into em a few years ago and they've easily become my second favorite band of all time, period:
Lacuna Coil, Comalies:An Italian band that, if you really wanna categorize em, is orchestral/goth rock/metal, but that doesn't give em much credit for their unique sound.There's tons of videos of them on youtube you can check out, they seem to go very well with Final Fantasy. ;)
Blessed By The Beast by Terrorist, locals here from El Paso, TX:
Blackened Thrash Metal.
Still need to get it though.
But I have no money right now...
