There's a classical pianist that has done recordings of Ravel and Schumann which I find breathtaking:

This band isn't mainstream, but yet maybe some of you have heard of them. They are amazing, one goal in my life is to see them live. Highly recommended.

I don't know if you can find any music by these guys, but I was in band with the leader of this group in H.S. and he's an absolutely fantastic trumbone player with sensational music skills. Google 'Dan Gabel and the Abletones' and see what comes up. He's got a website and he performs in Central MA metro Worcester area. If you get the chance, go see these guys or pick up their CD. You'll be impressed. I secretly believe he's gonna be one of the greatest trumbone players of all time.

Music officially died in 1827. Kudos to anyone who knows the significance of that date.

Forgive the terrible quality of this video but. . .
 
The Appleseed Cast is by far the least recognized band that I think should be super famous for how amazing they are.
 

 
Good little post rock band who always seems to amaze me with their instruments, They seriously know how to compose music on a level I've never heard from any other popular artist.  The amount of talent that has  come to form this group is more then I've ever  imagined.
 
The Vocals: By far their weakest part, the singer is good for what he does but it's obvious it's not the main focus of this  band. The Lyrics may only be a few lines but the words are meaning full to the album on a whole. You'll see this in the song I posted, it's a 4 minute with exactly 2 lines of lyrics. The words are still meaning full but they are a back drop to the music.
 
The Guitars: Oh my god, I can't even put into words how amazing they sound, truly these guys are incredible musicians to be able to entrance me so with the amazing Melody's and Harmony's these guitarist can produce. Like yin and yang they seem to balance each other and feed off each others energy. Truly an immaculate  experience.
 
The Drums:  The icing on the cake they aren't overly done but this music is certainly not lacking it's Mids and Bass which are eagerly provided  and mesh well with the music. I'm not percussion expert at all but I kknow what I like and so far very few bands have had drummers that really stood our, The Appleseed Cast is definately one of the prized few.
 
If I had to choose one band I would listen to for the rest of my life it might be these guys. And I'm probably going to pick up headphones that sound best for this band some time in the futre, they will be my Appleseed Cast Cans.

^ I loved "Low Level Owl I + II", but since then had completely forgotten about them. Amazing band, thanks for the reminder!

No cheating now...

 

[james444]

^ I wasn't cheating, here in Vienna we get these dates drummed into us as early as kindergarten.

 

[rehabitat]

Of course you did.  But that's got nought to do with my post.

 

[james444]

Lol, I'd definitely have to cheat for that one. Pretty sure it's not about classical this time.
