The "if you like_____, then you'll like_____" thread

Fill in the blanks. Expand others' musical horizons. The first blank should contain a band that people have heard of, and the second should contain one that they probably haven't heard of. The bands don't necessarily have to sound alike, or even be classified in the same genre.

I'll start:

If you like Jeff Buckley, you'll like Martin Sexton.

I've never met a Jeff fan that I didn't convert into a Martin fan. Start off with an album called "Black Sheep", on track one, and go from there.

I never thought of it like that, but know that mention it, This was meant to hurt you and Deloused.... did share some remarkable similarties. I would shy away from implying one band's influence on the other, all the same, though...TAAS probably just barrowed Cedric Bixlar's chord voicing/licks heard on latter ATDI records. I think The Mars Volta's production values and song structures were much more prog./post-rock influenced, also.
