I could list hundreds, but the likes of Shadow Gallery have some totally stunning songs, like this one from their "Room V" album (sorry, Vengangelica, you probably won't like it as it's quite long, but I'd urge you to give it a chance)

[...] and just one more: this is a band called Silent Edge, who have to date sadly only had the one album, "The eyes of the shadow". This is a slower track from it, called "The curse I hold".

It is indeed frustrating that songs of this calibre are going unnoticed, but then I suppose if the bands got famous and everyone was into them we'd feel slightly less, I don't know, important? It's sort of like they're our bands, our secret? Though I'm sure they'd rather have the fame (and the money)...
I did listen to all three songs with the final one, "The Curse I Hold Within," being my favorite because I like the acoustic guitar very much.

I really don't listen to enough music to discover many songs by non-famous bands, Trollheart...but when I do happen to hear little-known songs I enjoy, then I like to honor them here in the thread. I hope that the musicians' pleasure in making music has been its own reward, but yes, I imagine they'd also like to get Fame and Fortune. Maybe now that you've posted about them, they will.
