Recommend me some good obscure post-grunge/nu-metal/alternative songs.

I'm making a compilation to listen to in my car. I'm looking for songs with big production but not so famous bands. Those were the best times for the genre for me but I can't remember a lot of the great obscure songs I used to hear. I'll give a few examples as reference:

Hed(pe) - Blackout
Chevelle - Red
Epidemic - Walk away
Mad At Gravity - Walk Away
Adema - The Way You Like It
Cold - With My Mind
12 Stones - Broken
A - Nothing
Ill Nino - What Comes Around
Nonpoint - Signs

Should be able to find something new here that you like. I think i have more, but its all i gathered from skimming through my list. Not a huge fan of nu-metal and i've grown tired of post-grunge bands since the majority sound all the same.

Some people will argue a certain band shouldn't be listed under genre X - I dont give a f*ck.

Anything Alice in Chains is cool grunge. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden are excellent as well.

Check out Mad Season if you like Pearl Jam or AIC.ShadowJax04

I'm gonna throw some random stuff out...

The Vines - Winning Days was a pretty cool post grunge album, with some chill mellow stuff thrown in.

Finger Eleven - Self Titled ...Seriously I know the song "one thing" sucks major a$$ but this a very solid album that never got the appreciation it deserved.

Breaking Benjamin - Really any of their albums are right up your alley, high production values, AND they are based from my hometown!

Sum 41 - Chuck ...Awesomeness from a not so awesome band.

Skindred - Jamaican Metal...need I say more???

Coheed and Cambria - not too sure if they would be considered obscure, but still good nonetheless.

If you listen and like any of these bands hit me up, music is my passion and I will throw some more bands out to whoever wants some good stuff.

I think that should suffice. Once again the members of this forum do not disappoint, exceeding my expectations even. Perhaps I should post all my off-topic questions here rather than on Yahoo Answers. Thank you all for your great suggestions . Aesthete18

anytime...
