I feel myself trapped in this mainstream box that I can't get out of. I don't have any friends who are enthusiastic about music, nor do I have the money to be buying random records trying to hit a jackpot.
I only know the really big bands, but I want to start finding specific more obscure bands that may cater to my tastes.
My favorite band is Radiohead,
but I also enjoy Explosions in the Sky, Switchfoot, Gary Jules, B.B. King, SRV.

You're in the right place. Also, try one of the internet radio websights like Pandora, Slacker, or LastFM. That's a really good way to find out about new artists that would be to your liking.
Do you listen to Jeff Buckley? Thom Yorke was reportedly influenced by him some. You also might like the Autumns.
