Get Well Soon, a band but mostly a solo project from Germany. The almighty YouTube algorithm recommended them to me.

I have really esoteric taste in music. Most people have never heard of them, but I'm a big fan of the Strokes and Radiohead.

8mm. AOL/Spinner used to have a thing called New Music Listening Party where they would post a bunch of albums being released that week, which you could stream for free that week. 15 years ago, Between the Devil and Two Black Hearts popped up on there. The whole album is amazing (and is much better than their other work). Everybody Says is the song that hooked me first, but I'll post the title track. You may not have heard of 8mm, but it's Sean and Juliette Beavan, and you've heard of bands that Sean has produced.

Band is Spanish Love Songs. Reminds me of Drive By Truckers a bit. I randomly found them because I was searching for Spanish songs about love on Pandora and the algo thought I meant the band. Listened to them because I was curious and haven’t stopped since.

^^^^This.
Touch, Peel, and Stand was a number 1 hit on the billboard mainstream rock chart for several months in a row!! It was on TV shows and commercials.

The Rezillos. Maybe not well known outside of punk circles.
Not sure how I heard of them, but I think like many things, it ultimately stems from bad toilet training.
Whatever.
Glad all over.

Houndmouth. Great band for 3 albums.
Discovered them the old fashioned way - stumbled into them at a music festival.
Every song on Little Neon is a banger.

The Cure. I'm from LA and had heard of them, but never listened to them. So in 1980 I was in London and went to see a punk band called 'The Charge' at a small club. Turns out The Cure had got their start at this club 5 years before. Well after The Charge played, The Cure came on stage and played a surprise set. They were great and I was fan from then on!

I no longer listen to music because greedy musicians, streaming services, and record labels expect me to pay for it.
ALL TRACKS SHOULD BE FREE and no one else should be able to listen to them while I am listening. Especially soccer kids, lacrosse parents, and dog walkers!

American Football. Don’t remember how I was introduced to them. (Very short lived high school band - after I ”discovered” them they actually got back together. -62

Morphine. A 3-piece with drums, saxophone, and 2-string bass played with a slide. I heard Les Claypool talk about them in an interview.

Virtually nobody ever randomly discovers ANY music. An example below, Gloria by The Shadows of Knight has (along with hundreds of other great 'lost' classic) has been released by the NUGGETS series by Rhino. I'm old enough to remember this song as a junior high student (1966).I remember songs, but most of my peers don't. So when you 'discover' a song, it's because you hear it (played by a DJ between sets at a concert) who plays great forgotten songs and is an expert; or because you read through publications like UNCUT and "discover" artists whose out-of-print LPs are now being re-released; or any number of current artists (Bridgett Calls Me Baby, for example) who have terrific music and do great live shows and you take the effort to listen to their music, buy their album, and see them at an 'intimate' venue for reasonable cost before you foolishly shell over $600 or $1000 to see a concert.The discovery might have been 'personal' to you, but they're out there. Just do your homework. The NYT, NPR, UNCUT and other publications review new & old artists; and blogs like OHMYROCKNESS (for LA, NYC & Chicago) lists upcoming shows.03

Once again, heard a song of theirs on alternative radio. They happen to be a Seattle band.
She ran, she ran. She ran, she ran. She ran......
Away from me.20 -
A song for our times, no doubt: That's a God Damn Lie!
Also by The Tom Price Desert Classic.
This one isn't even on YouTube, had to find it on some alternative streaming platform. Check it out, though, it's totally worth it!
