Name an artist/group that you are surprised isn't more popular.

I'll start with Saul Williams. I found out about him because he opened for NiN. He was great. I thought he was going to break through when I heard him in a Nike commerical, but nope his social conscious rap didn't catch on.

What people or groups do you think should be more popular? Also name/link some songs.

No man is an island, but I often feel alone, so I find peace through.....ooohhmmmm....

The Roots in their pre-Jimmy ~~Kimmel~~ Fallon days, and even now, are my favourite musical group. Black Star is another duo I would raise to that level as well.
Taking a look at this page, for the Last Poets, who influenced Saul Williams, it's a veritable who's who of artists I love: Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, KRS-ONE, Guru, Mos Def & Talib Kweli.
e: I stand corrected.
- Fallon, not Kimmel.
  
  I stand corrected.
  I knew they were on late night with one of the Jimmies. The band they are is not tied to how they pay the bills. Funny thing is, I can imagine Fallon's face, but not Kimmel's.
  The band they are is 1987 - 2007 for me. The last album of theirs I picked up was Undun in 2011.
  
  I think he’s right, it’s his favorite group!
  
  Yeah, I'm still a fan of the group. Not too attached to their host.
