Never forgotten, but highly influential are the Velvet Underground. Aside from the vast assortment of VU-influenced bands you've already heard of, try Katie the Pest (OC-based), Friends of Sound and last, but not least Kill Me Tomorrow.

Whoa! And while browsing for the lastest info on Friends of Sound, check out "Snow Machine". Two free MP3 songs, extremely well-encoded. Big sound!
