Fugazi
Bright Eyes
The West Side Story Soundtack (okay, I am kidding)

Shellac
Universal Order of Armageddon
Andrew W.K (another borderline one)
Elliot Smith
Green Day (only the first two: Kerplunk and 1,039 Smoothed..
The Promise Ring
Desaparecidos
Neutral Milk Hotel
God Speed! You Black Emperor
Social Distortion (that one is kind of pushing it I think)
Bedhead
The New Year
Dwight Yoakam
Nation of Ulysses
Public Enemy
Descendents
The Reverend Horton Heat
Moss Icon
Shudder to Think (only when they were on Dischord)
Bikini Kill (I love it in high school...when I moved to Porltand I realized how close I was to Kathleen Hanna. I am sure we will consumate our love any day now)
The Good Life (yet, I can't stand Cursive)

wow, I really can't think of anymore right now...but the top two are my all time favs. The rest are in no particular order. I guess I was not necessarily naming off all current bands either. I know there are so many more

you should really try to narrow down your request somewhat. otherwise, you're going to end up with a very unwieldy list of suggestions.

Are you just making a joke. I don't even listen to the radio very often, but I know these bands are played all the time.

NoU was great, I also liked those guys with Michelle Mae as The Make-Up. Ian Sevonious is one cool mofo.

No! I am destined to have love children with Kathleen Hanna.

Some decent mentions already I am going to refrain from posting the obscure stuff I like.

You sir, rule, as does anyone who likes this band. Bonus points if you've seen em live.

I don't know if these are underground in the States, but they are here: As I Lay Dying, Trivium, Killswitch Engage.

I don't know what is sadder, that you know so much about Vanilla Ice, or that you actually bought a new cd from him.

Blessing the Hogs (have a new CD)
Heaven Shall Burn (get Asunder and Split w/Caliban, newer stuff blows bigtime)
Bloodbath
Amongst Us (Good songs on MySpace, CD coming soon)
Aborted

Plenty more where that came from. Check out My last.fm page (http://www.last.fm/user/DJSkull) for a list of my recent favorites. I'd be surprised if more than 2 of the bands on that linked page are ever on the radio.

I can forget Caliban nowadays quite easily. But their split with Heaven Shall Burn is top 20 worthy.

craig, great taste

id add glassjaw, blindside, dresden dolls and tom waits. everyone should listen to tom waits. there is no better soundtrack for drinking by yourself.
