Thanks to the OP for starting this thread (and I appreciate the contributions by others, so far). Had a chance to check out a couple of "new to me" artists last night and I'll do the same, tonight.
My contribution tonight: The Sneetches. A band from the 90's that I re-listened to just last night as I was digging through my CD collection looking for bands that remained "under the radar." This band is unabashed pop, but I can listen to and enjoy this music and appreciate it for what it is and then turn right around and enjoy something a bit more complex that rewards more focused attention in order to really enjoy.
It's all good.
