Good lists so far. People need to understand that if they depend on terrestrial radio or MTV to get their music, they are missing out on all the good stuff and in fact are exposed to virtually nothing but rubbish and they develop a tolerance for that rubbish that makes them less likely to ever try the good stuff.

A good analogy is a person who eats at nothing but fast food places like McDonalds and Pizza Hut all the time. After a while, their taste buds begin to tolerate that bland food and reject anything else is just "too exotic". Kind of like the cat that has gotten too used to cat food and now turns its nose up at sardines and tuna.

Anyway, here is another list of songs that should be on everybody's iPod yet you will never hear on FM radio. This is just scratching the surface of what is out there:

• Dredg - Bug Eyes
  
• Calexico - Cruel
  
• Explosions In The Sky - Welcome, Ghosts
  
• The Shins - Sea Legs
  
• Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On
  
• Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy
  
• Pavement - Frontwards
  
• The Cold War Kids - We Used To Vacation
  
• The Good, The Bad, And The Queen - Kingdom of Doom
  
• Grizzly Bear - On A Neck, On A Spit

Excellent post and you have great taste in music. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you that before though. :^)

I’ll post my list later. I have Mother’s day duties to fulfill!

You would think The Good, The Bad and The Queen could make it on the radio judging by the pedigree of the band members. I haven’t heard all of the bands on your list, but the ones I have are very good. And some of them I have just heard about, but have heard great things.
