The writers, artists, musicians, singers, poets who inspire you, but who aren't as well-known as they deserve.

Sing their praises here

pop music with intelligent lyrics and lovely female vocal harmonies (Lowell George's daughter, sounding nothing like him.) - http://www.thebirdandthebee.com/

local songwriter dude who should be famous but prefers living in a house instead of a tour bus - http://www.bluebhikku.com/stefangeorge.html

Texas singer/songwriter in the contemporary honky tonk tradition. Anyone who can write a song called "She Left Me For Jesus" gets my $.

Chorus:
She left me for Jesus and that just ain't fair
She says that's he's perfect, how could I compare
She says I should find him and I'll know peace at last
But if I ever find Jesus, I'm kickin' his ass
 
My reccommendation is an Australian rap group called butterfingers. They are hilarious and worthy of much more attention than they get.
 
I feel Nina Hagen's punk rock, alternative influence is sorely underrated in the world of music/fashion. The woman was doing a lot of things in the 1970s that were avant garde and didn't become vogue until the mid 1980s.

Ah, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Unfortunately, my great-great-great-great-great grandfather was the cousin of Benjamin so that just leaves me with a great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather as a president and not both my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather and great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Would have been great, you know!
