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.

its all mostly failure after you've read SoIF. :(
listen to >>2 though.

The Black Company has some good stuff in it and Steven Brust's books, including Jhereg, are almost pure awesome in writing.

Never heard of Chrestomanci and Kushiel's Dart looked ghey.

You could probably waste time waiting for a Dance with Dragons by reading Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle.
Huge Books with so-so writing ftw.
