Not heard the others you mentioned but I will be listening to those tonight! Note: It's not that I don't like a band cause they're not "unknown" enough, I just feel that mainstream artists lack a lot of originality and quality that indie artists do in many of their songs... the big artists will make their money anyhow, whereas the indie artists have to make good songs and actually have to work hard to get their bread on the table :) But if they are good songs, then I don't mind! EDIT: Yeah that's why I don't like Paramore overly much :) But Misery Business is tolerable!

Ive not heard of the others personally except for paramore which is too “girly” for my taste, not a big fan of female singers
Ill be looking into the others :)

A few others I like, most aren’t really widely popular but are probably more well known than your list but regardless:
- Muse (gone a litle mainstream since twilight but I think the style is amazing )
- A Perfect Circle (I particulary like ‘Judith’ and their version of ‘Imagine’)
-Cold War Kids (‘We used to vacation’ is worth a listen)
-Placebo (fairly similar to Muse, not too unknown but not mainstream either)
-The Mars Volta (like above not too unknown but not mainstream)
-3 Doors Down
-Broken Social Scene (‘Almost Crimes’ is a good track)
-Anatomy of a Ghost (‘American’ alternative style, not very known but not too bad)
-Brand New (‘Soco Amaretto Lime’ is my favourite, can’t really explain why :| )
-Bright Eyes (has a slow style that im on the border of liking but ‘False Advertising’ has a unique feel IMO)

EDIT: just checked out the Foals, ELO and Ben folds five and I have to say that Foals was a good find :) , the other two are just catching on to me :D

Others which I sometimes like, sometimes don’t – kinda borderline on:
Fair to Midland (Dance of the Manatee has a unique rock style, not too keen on other tracks)
-Grandaddy (sorry i forgot the name of the song I was going to recommened but it sounds like a 8bit bleep of an old arcade at the start if you find it :) , pretty catchy)
-Harvey Danger (Flagpole Sitta is a very ‘feel good’ tune :) )
-Minus the Bear (‘the fix’ is very underrated I think, should be more well known)

Don’t know if you will like them or if they aren’t unknown enough but these a just a handful of my ipods playlist of random artists ive found over the years, check them out and tell me if you liked some or not :)
