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
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.

I've been big on MUTEMATH since highschool. Unfortunately, I think they've broken up, but I still love their music.

The longest johns
Fun answer, seeing them in May on their US tour next year and I'm hyped
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.

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.
Mission of Burma
Diiv (Although they just toured with Depeche Mode so they may be more known now)
Spot
A Minor Forest
Nulberry
(Now called "The She Gulls")
Very talented mathrock artist.
Poets Of The Fall. They aren't too known but they are the ones behind many Remedy games soundtracks including Control and Alan Wake. Dam they're good, especially their Alexander Theatre session and live performances.

Umphreyβs McGee
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.
Idk if it's mainstream or not, but I really like Winona Fighter. Good angry punk rock.
Nightly. But they are getting there.
FKJ (French Kiwi Juice)
Dude is incredible, and his Cercle set is breathtaking.
The Japanese metal band Galneryus
Orbit Culture's great if you're a metalhead
- Jon Hopkins (Electronic)
- Sylvan Esso (pop/electronic)
- Esme Patterson (Rock/Folk)
- Jason Isbell (Country)
- The Watchouse (Formerly Mandolin Orange; Country)
- Bleachers (Although Jack Antonoff is in everything these days so not sure if it makes the cut)

Khruangbin, MONO, Babe Rainbow, Kikagaku Moyo.
If Khrungabin aren't well known there is no justice in the universe. They are so good. They headlined a big festival here (one so expensive I didn't go) and did those awesome collaborations with Leon Bridges so I thought they were famous?
De Staat
I can't make sense of the reality that they're not incredibly famous.
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")
I got into Amigo The Devil almost a decade ago in highschool. I used The Weight in my senior project presentation when it was a recent single.
Cari Cari (just discovered them, psychedelic jams)
Bargain Music (reggae/ska, similar to sublime)
Secret Chiefs 3 (schitzo alternative/middle eastern, many members of Mr. Bungle)
TR/ST (darkwave)
The Two Man Gentleman Band (old timey barbershop banjo)
Superorganism (psychedelic)
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (punk covers)
St. Vincent (indie/alternative)
Two Man Gentlemen Band are so funny. Fancy Beer!
vexento
Aesop Rock
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.
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.
They're not really considered underground since they have 1 million monthly listeners, but I still don't see a lot of people talking about the band Foreign Air. They are known for their hit "Free Animal", but they have so many good songs. I recommend "Your Touch", "Hello Sunshine Pt 2", "Wake Me Up", "Moving On," and "Monsters". Unsure of how to describe their genre, it certainly isn't rock nor bubbly pop...
