This is kind of a companion to the *what are you listening to/best catalog/weird Al* threads.
It's been claimed that there isn't so much good music anymore, and I thought it would be cool to post some of the more obscure stuff in your collections. It doesn't have to be way out there, or even that obscure, just a bit off the beaten track. New is probably more interesting to most, but old music will work also. Just make it something you probably wouldn't hear on a non-college station.
Don't forget your links. It's not much fun searching around. If you've got a link to the material, use it :^)
A Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band with Choir How's that for a name? Makes Godspeed You! Black Emperor sound positively mainstream :^P Also has some of the same members.
Big Lazy A great instrumental band from Yew York.
Rain Parade Dave Roback's group from the early 80s. A leader in the Paisley Underground movement.
Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen?? Really??? His Nebraska album has a stark plaintive sound that's timeless. He has plenty of detractors, but I think history will put him up with the great folk singers of the past. His urban folk is every bit as good as Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.
Russian Circles I really don't know much about these guys. I only have 1 album, but they remind me a bit of Pelican. Heavyish melodic music.

So what do you all have?
