 Bluegrass suggestions?

So I've really been digging bluegrass lately, and was wondering if some of you fine folks could give me some recommendations on people to check out!

Yeah I was gonna ask the same thing. But saying leftover salmon seemed like the right thing to do.

I'll hook up a little of each.
Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers:
The Soggy Bottom Boys (from Oh Brother Where Art Though):
New Grass Revival:
The only newer stuff I can think of is Yondermountain String Band, Railroad Earth, and Trampled by Turtles.

Yonder Mountain String Band is very cool for a jamgrass band, if you can find anything live from them, it is the best.
Anything with David Grisman (mandolin) is also great.
Bela' Fleck, Tony Rice, Doc Watson, John Hartford, Emylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas are some good names to look for.
Left Hand String Band, Acoustic Allstars, Strength in Numbers, Superpickers and Railroad Earth, are a few bands to get you started.
I am a firm believer that anything live is usually much better than studio recordings and this holds true to bluegrass also. Look for the live stuff and you will find a much better listening experience.
You can find some of these bands on bt.etree.org if you can download with bit torrent.
Also look for performances from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, There are usually some fantastic bands that attend them.
If you are in the northeast, you could look into the Greyfox Festival in New York, I believe it is held around mid july. Its all Bluegrass and has some great names.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy.
Peace.

hell yes!
don't forget Flatt and Scruggs
and David Grisman and Jerry Garcia's Pizza Tapes
as far as new bluegrass, you should definitely check out the Yonder Mountain String Band. they're one of my favorite bluegrass bands, ever.
and Railroad Earth. they are extremely bad ass; and a little more "classic" bluegrass than yonder mountain.
Rollin' In The Hay is another great band.
and the Nashville Super Pickers are pretty cool too!
Bluesky Undergrass!
:edit: nice recomendations creekfreek. I almost forgot about Strength In Numbers for a second. I'm positive there is more than I am forgetting about. I'll chime in once I think of some more.
Here's a really bad ass Yonder Mountain song

Thanks for the tips, guys!
Got a lot of names here, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding torrents for a lot of these. I'll have to try creekfreek's page...
I guess I'm looking more at newer stuff. I like more upbeat music with not as much twang. I like YMSB and Trampled by Turtles already, and saw a band called Pertineer Sandstone (sp?) and they were just awesome.

That snake oil video was pretty cool!
 I can hardly find any of these bands to download, and what I can find is in funky .flac format and labeled all weird.

The Del McCoury Band is pretty good too. I didn't know there were so many people around here that like bluegrass!

Ya, that's usually the format you find live stuff in. You can alway convert them to mp3s or whatever format is "cool enough" for you.

 It's not that it's not "cool enough" for me, I just don't like having a 3 minute song take up 40MB of hard disk space.
