So this is something that I do with a couple of my friends all the time. Simple as anything, but it works well.
Post a couple bands that you listen to, but dont think many people are familliar with. New, old...anything. Ive discovered alot of great bands this way.
I'll start:
- Buck 65
- The Coasters (ok so Im sure folks would know them, but I never hear them mentioned around here)
- Tapes n' Tapes (Just started listening to these guys tonight...so far, pretty cool)

thats wild ... in Canada they are one of the most popular bands of all time.
i dont expect anyone to know them outside canada but they did break out into the US back in the 70's - 80's ..
i guess the younger gen wouldnt really know of them these days

Band names and quick genre if I HAD to catagorize.
Kenny Wayne Sheppard - Rock (GREAT Voodoo Child instrumental among other things)
Stiff Little Fingers - Rock/Punk
Meat Puppets - Grunge
Operation Ivy - Punk
Royce Da 5'9" - Rap
The Zutons - Alt/Rock
Wylie Gustafson - Country/Yodeling
It all depends on the age and group really, some people I know don't know who Pennywise or Sublime are and others haven't heard Our Lady Peace, The Toadies, or KRS One.

I guess there are a lot of bands I think you should check out, since I'm in australia and most of you aren't,
you wiil probably find them on my space if no where else,
whopping Big Naughty - dirty pub rock and a bit catchy,
Sounds Like Sunset - swooning shoegazer style pop, live they are distructivley loud
Bluebottle kiss - One of the most beutiffull and harsh bands at different times, I have been following these guys for ten years, they're live shows are the best on a consistent level of energy I have ever seen.

I just put on this album, they where my favorite australian band untill they broke up, they sound a bit like shellac and fit in with all the post rock scene.
Ricaine, they are great they existed between 95 - 2002, try and get your hands on their first album,
"Regret is an inevitable consequence of life" - Ricaine
They will blow you away......
