The Best You've Never Heard Of....

There are so many music artists out there that don't have mainstream success, but are more talented than 99% of the "popular" artists on the charts. Here's a brief list of some of my faves...Check them out if you haven't!!! In the U.K. they seem to appreciate GOOD music much more than they do over here. I would suggest logging onto http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ to listen to broadcasts of music that matters, not a bunch of fluff.
