Tiger Trap (twee pop with equal charm and better guitars than Beat Happening)
Thinking Plague (one of the best and most disciplined atonal rock bands ever)
Boredoms (I know they are well-known but still....should be the biggest band in the world!)
Seefeel (ahead-of-their-time electronic music adventurers of the early-to-mid-'90s)
Esoteric (the best funeral doom band of all time, much > Skepticism, Thergothon etc.)
Those are the main ones that came to mind for me.
EDIT: I think the Go-Betweens are pretty well-known and respected. When I first learned about the history of indie pop they were one of the first names I encountered. Still a great band though.
