Fantasy Reccomendations

I fear I've been horribly, completely spoiled by George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Since A Dance With Dragons is still a long way off, I'd like some recommendations of *GOOD* fantasy series to read. I should specify that I'm looking for new, or perhaps lesser known writers, because I've read a good amount of what's considered 'popular' in fantasy like Wheel of Time and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn.

I'm looking for something fresh, please don't bother with Ender's Game or Neil Gaiman's stuff, which I've read.

- Kushie's Dart has its charm.
- As does the Chrestomanci series, if you don't mind something aimed at a younger audience.
- If you like dark and gritty, The Black Company is enjoyable, although the ending is a bit much.
- Someone on this board suggested Jhereg, which I also enjoyed.

SoIF is pretty hard to top for fantasy, particularly of the epic variety.
