The halls of music history are littered with bands that should have made it big, but never did.

Or maybe they're still trying, and you're holding out hope, along with the band, that that big break will finally come.

On this edition of All Songs Considered we share some of the discoveries we made, along with some of our own candidates for bands that should be bigger.
