Martian, I will suggest a few. If you already have them, good on ya. I won't recommend shit you've never heard of.

Nice tone. Well, Martian is obviously a music lover, and when I read this...

(emphasis is mine) I thought I'd go just slightly out of the mainstream, because I thought he might already have an album like "Kind of Blue" for example.
I was motivated to recommend Dave Douglas, who is really not that obscure, and is certainly not a nobody. If I wanted to sound cool by recommending something you've never heard of, believe me I could. In this case I was just helping Martian broaden his musical horizons, while keeping within his request that it be something they probably had at the store.
Besides...don't assume that just because you've never heard of someone that they are an obscure nobody. Everyone has their musical blindspots.
