Deux Furieuses 2 piece, not bad for girls.
Not only is this album a technical achievement of instrumental mastery, but the lyrics are incredibly relevant and insightful, to today's world. I call few things, "beautiful". This album, absolutely is.
How is Megadeth lesser known? I know the name and I'm not even remotely a metal fan.
The band isn't, but the album is relatively off the charts of most metalheads.
... A man of taste

Also, Lucero. Reason: They are raw and real as fuck.

I know he might not be that unknown, but even if he's not your style, gotta respect the songwriting.
I am a huge fan of Streetlight Manifesto. Their live shows are fucking phenomenal and their music is unique.
Stephen Speaks ... not sure why, his stuff is just enjoyable to me.
Local pop punk band. I'd never heard of them before until I went to see RVIVR when they played here a few years ago, they were the supporting band. They blew me away in a room with no stage in front of 40 people. I can't quite describe why I love them so much, it's sort of like they just summarise the feeling of what it's like to live around here in their vocals and sound.
A Brit?
Christ, you are living the late life my guy.

I especially like the elements of gypsy music, guitar tone, riffs, and drumming.
FKA Twigs.
One of the few hip-hop artists I enjoy (most of my music is punk and prog rock,) there's just something I happen to like about her brand of avant-gardeness. I'll also say she's the only artist I've found who has successfully made a song sound sexy. As in, if you took the lyrics away it'd still be sexy.
