I'm really, really into pop punk. I think The Wonder Years are amongst my favourite bands ever. I saw them play in Nottingham, UK last year and they were fantastic fun. I probably prefer Less Than Jake (who I've also seen play live) slightly more, but they're hardly obscure enough for me to list them :) Pop punk is far too under-rated when it comes to having meaningful lyrics. I keep delving deeper and deeper into it, and it's easy to find great bands that aren't very popular at all, like Forever Came Calling.
Aye, post-rock is something I've not been into very long at all even though it's a sort of music I do very much like. I can hardly name any post-rock bands, but I should check out Stereolab :)
I love Animals As Leaders because their lead guitarist, Tosin Abasi, is a massive inspiration to me to learn music. Their music itself is very progressive and unique and innovative and every song is distinct despite not having vocals.
Also, if I may add another horribly obscure song and band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMIHSuKmGKA The Mountain Goats. There is no studio-recorded version of this track as far as I know, but to me it's ridiculous good.
Is it normal to want to share obscure music with Is it normal users?

Oh God... did I really just say "Nottingham, UK"?! Such an Americanism... I must have been so tired when I wrote this! :P
