I've heard of all of those.

I'll add to your list with

The Almost
The Fold
The Graduate
Halifax
Hellogoodbye
Hit The Lights
In Fiction
Mr. Bungle (:D)
Pan Ramajay
Protest the Hero (maybe, still have yet to decide if I like them)
Saosin (They're actually kind of popular nowadays I think)
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Story Of The Year
Sweet Diss And The Comebacks
The Wedding
+44

Honestly though, this list could go on forever. A better answer would be:

purevolume.com
myspace.com 
:D :D :D :D

Next time, don't break your post and say that you are editing my quote. I've seen Almost and Halifax live (and Saosin) and they are pretty good. Check them out sometime.

Yeah, I figured Saosin would be popular. I don't keep up with charts, so I wouldn't know.

The Postal Service is hardly known outside of our cult fanbase where I live, though they've had hits, they haven't stuck in anyone's heads...

that nobody's heard of where I live?  Massive Attack (dunno how they haven't heard of them... everyone here is a House fan...)

yes, that it is.

in fact, the whole album is awesome.  the only one that i don't really like is Recycled Air.  The District is awesome as well.

Brand New Colony is my fave though.

Ready Steady GO.

Enter the Haggis
Rezurex

Tiger Army


I'd say The Living End, my favorite band, but everyone's heard of them because of their covered song "Carry Me Home" in GH2.

I'd also say Franz Ferdinand, but a lot of people know them for one song, so that doesn't count.
