There's a local Portland band called Pink Martini that I think is awesome. Their music is a mix of styles, with jazz, latin, swing, and classical influences.
Next to The Police, Arcwelder is my favorite band. They're a 3 piece out of Minneapolis and you can hear some of the influence of bands like Husker Du. I definitely recommend these guys, and if you really want to hear some of their best work, pick up their CD "Pull".
Missus, go download the song, very funny. I believe it is called, "you'r enot the boss of me." Just do a search for malcolm in the middle song, and you will find it.
I second BDawg's recommendation of Dream Theatre, one of the most underrated bands I know of.
I'd also like to add the following:
Velvet Acid Christ
Individual Totem
Tabla Beat Science
Aloke Dutta
Teal (Jazz band from Dallas)
Peach (The UK rock group, now disbanded)
Vast
Front Line Assembly (won't be little known to some of you)
