I'll do no such thing!
LCD Soundsystem was awesome live, but I haven't heard the album. And I would never in a million years have guessed that you like Mastodon, but I can't exactly say why.
Here's some (mostly) lesser known bands that I love and think are worth a listen:
Tsar (glam rock/power pop)
Silversun Pickups (nerdy garage rock...like a bar band version of Smashing Pumpkins)
The Black Keys (lo-fi garage band blues)
The Donnas (basically an all-girl Motley Crue...fun!)
Fountains Of Wayne (power pop with harmonies rivaling the Beach Boys)
Jellyfish (Beatlesque pop)
Kings of Leon (southern rock with a modern twist)
My Morning Jacket (the illegitimate child of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pink Floyd...really)
Pink Spiders (punky glam rock)
I also have to mention my beloved White Stripes because I've never seen such a popular band that so many people have never heard of.
