I feel like I could do this all day. I like a lot of music, and most of it never breaks mainstream:
The Stickmen - Insatiable : A psychotic crack/meth-fueled No Wave/Funk mash up from the early 80s:
Yeah, I feel like she's going places; This is an utterly accessible pop-rock record full of catchy riffs and memorable hooks. But she hasn't really broken yet so she's still just playing bar gigs.Don't sleep on this album folks. She recorded all of the instruments herself and mixed everything. Really talented woman, and I'm sad I missed her when she was in my area.
His profile has raised in the years since I think but still, I've yet to meet someone IRL who's heard of him so I'm using that to reference the topic.
Also, Sun,Cloud by Luke Howard
Interesting! UK here and occasionally heard it as bg music to things. Whole album is great, wish those who hear it as that could hear the whole thing.Bonobo's music gets a lot of use on NPR as transitional music or music during promo spots, so lots of people would probably recognize his music even if they don't recognize the name.
Yeah Bonobo Black Sands is pretty big. Good record!

Exactly what I used it for when I stumbled across it on Spotify years ago!I do indeed love the album and the artist. I was actually listening to Animal Magic this morning. It makes excellent background music for work.
I feel like no one else except for macuser1of5 realizes how great "the body the blood the machine" is. like some serious all-time shit.

One of the best post-2000s records.
Shugo Tokumaru's "In Focus?"

His musical style across the board, but personally in this album especially, is so intriguing and refreshing.
Also the full album isn't on youtube but Love Letters is a great little pop-punk/hiphop tape

Cool idea for a thread. Here is my contribution:
John Frusciante - Shadows Collide with People(You can tell how much influence he had on RHCP as far as melodies and hooks go in their By the Way era) Can't recommend this album enough. It's one of my favorites of all time
Every Person
Omission
No one heard of as in our current generation?
I would say Marvin Gaye's What's Going On album.
