I'll throw in Eddie and the Hot Rods, to compliment Dr Feelgood & also Kilburn and the High Roads.0 -
The Dark ...great band from the late 70's / early 80's. I saw them many times although they never had great success.
Unfortunately most of the band have now passed away.

These guys are big in the jazz/neo-soul/funk/fusion worlds - and imo are all pretty accessible. While big in their respective circles, I don't think CL would know any of them that well, so:
Snarky Puppy - Gone Under, feat. Shayna Steele which is one of their Family Dinner collaborations. For some pure Snarky, here is What About Me? from We Like It Here. They are whatever you want them to be - rock, jazz, funk, soul, RnB, whatever. Absolute big dogs.
Hiatus Kaiyote - who encompass neo-soul/future soul/RNB/jazz-funk/everything and sound very cool. This is Shaolin Monk Motherfunk from Choose Your Weapon.
Jacob Collier - he is the "boy wonder" of the jazz world, and performed at the Quincy Jones Prom this year. He can sing, play anything, and has an incredible knowledge of music theory and creates absolutely immense stuff - all by himself. Here is his arrangement of Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing by Stevie Wonder.
Youngblood Brass Band - they're a traditional New Orleans brass band, but much funkier, dirtier and filthier and generally great to rock out to. Here's their version of Human Nature, by Michael Jackson.
Tower of Power - super funky funk band. Possibly one of the best horn sections to have graced this planet. So much oomph. I have one question for you: WHAT IS HIP?
And there's much more. If you like this sort of stuff let me know and I can recommend even more!

Going to live gigs is a real passion of mine. There are so many great live bands out there that need exposure. Find your nearest local venues and use them!
Really annoys me that people stay in and watch X Factor on a Saturday night. Get out and see real, talented musicians live!

She is a Russian artist who is as big in the 'Soviet' world as Madonna is in the West. She does sing in Russian it's true. But the music is great.
I do have a vested interest, my son is in the band.

How would you categorise her music? Mainstream, or something a bit different?

Saw someone list Mogwai earlier so going to assume that all their mates are fair game as well (apologies as I don't know what is big over there or even what is big over here). Also, my musical tastes at the moment can be divided into basically two countries, Scotland and Iceland.
Scotland:
The Twilight Sad
Frightened Rabbit
Errors
We Were Promised Jetpacks
Minor Victories: Made up of members of Mogwai, The Editors, and someone else. They've recently put out a brilliant record
Iceland:
Agent Fresco--heavier stuff but Arnor Dan, their lead singer is SO good, did the vox for the Broadchurch soundtrack which was composed by his mate:
Olafur Arnalds: neo-classical composer. Incredible. He is also in a electronic duo:
Kiasmos: beautiful electronic music
Nils Frahm: Okay so he's German but he has a series of collabs with Olafur Arnalds3 -
