Me too thanks.
In case my posting history (and in fact user name lol) doesn't make it obvious - Infected Mushroom
It's impossible to pick a single example or a favourite track, since they vary so widely in style and it depends on what mood your in! But some of the better known classics are (best heard on headphones, unless you have a really incredible audio system):
And one from their 25th anniversary album
A Cookie From Space
And many many more in between, but I'll leave it at that lol (E: the links are each from the full album playlist, so that's a good place to start)

Some that I think should be wayy more popular than they currently are:
- Jukebox the ghost
- aimee mann
- V.A.S.T
- Prefab sprout
- Ivy
- Passion pit
- Placebo
- The war on drugs
- tokyo police club
- Stars
- The dismemberment plan
I'm not familiar with most of these but I drove 2 hours to see Jukebox the Ghost play in the second story of a church when I was like 19, and Stars is probably my number one favorite band, so I may have to check out some of your other entries here.
Edit: The Jukebox the Ghost show was really cool btw, they wouldn't let them do an encore in the upstairs part of the venue but they agreed to let the keyboardist do a solo encore on the church's organ on the first floor.
I saw them twice live, they're so good. Not many bands have the same optimism and energy as they do.
Their song "Computers" is the best way to musically describe working a shitty job and then hitting that glorious weekend only to have to do it all over again.
So many artists, but as a huge metalhead here are two who IMO deserve way more light.

Umphreys, Lotus, and STS9 have always been kind of a trifecta for me. I've also always liked Papadosio and it feels like they're just getting better every time I see them.
Potentially less widely known, a Michigan band called Chirp. I also recently discovered Kendall Street Company and their interpretation of Eyes of the World is so good it haunts me.
Fuckin love umph, got to see them twice so far. Once with sts9, which I also love.
The longest johns
Fun answer, seeing them in May on their US tour next year and I'm hyped
I've been big on MUTEMATH since highschool. Unfortunately, I think they've broken up, but I still love their music.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith
AURORA, although I guess she's gaining increased mainstream recognition now?
Since I'm very hurdy gurdy focused atm, Patty Gurdy and Michalina Malisz (as well as her band LYRRE)
Sleep Token. They're not as obscure as they used to be. They kind of blew up this year but only in the metal scene. Not quite mainstream yet but I think they'll get there.
Mutemath is one of my favorites. Every album is different. In recent years they got more electronic sounding and the band broke up a couple of years ago.

Noah Sias (deathcore? Just so fucking heavy idk)
Bent Knee (experimental rock, just an absolutely gorgeous song)

Idk if it's mainstream or not, but I really like Winona Fighter. Good angry punk rock.
vexento
FKJ (French Kiwi Juice)
Dude is incredible, and his Cercle set is breathtaking.
Many... too many to list.
Atomship. It was a blend of alternative metal and progressive rock. It's a really unique sound and they only ever did a single album.
Papadosio.
Aesop Rock
Nightly. But they are getting there.
I'm sure some people have heard of them but I didn't see them anywhere in here. So, here ya go!
Low is super slow and very long (at least in the first couple of albums).
Charlie Parr is an amazing country blues singer.
Collective Soul (fairly popular in their heyday, less so now)
Orbit Culture's great if you're a metalhead
LΕ«N (EDM)/Lights (electropop) (same artist, different personas) has some great music if you'll like that kind of stuff. Probably most recognized in Canada, much less so in the US and rest of the world.
I also enjoy Echo Movement (reggae) but I'm not sure if they're still making music or not.
All links go to invidious.
- Jon Hopkins (Electronic)
- Sylvan Esso (pop/electronic)
- Esme Patterson (Rock/Folk)
- Jason Isbell (Country)
- The Watchouse (Formerly Mandolin Orange; Country)

Here's a few sludgy/doomy metal bands I've been listening to a lot lately: Froglord, Squalus, GUHTS, Grayceon, Hippie Death Cult
Also I think he's starting to breach mainstream popularity, but I'd be remiss if I didn't spread the word of Amigo the Devil (dark country/folk, "murderfolk")
