Who is a band you really admire, but rarely hear about?

First one to come to mind for me is Kamelot. I love Prog/Power Metal & these guys are just amazing, just wish more people knew of them.

In our area, Nitekast. They deserve to play in a full-house and it just never happens. Everyone that hears them says how great they are, but for some reason, folks just don't return when they do.....If you've not heard this young band yet, do it!
