As part of learning Polish, I'd like to be listening to it even in situations where I can't Listen-Read, such as my commute, during breaks at work, when I'm posting to this forum, etc. The major way that I surround myself with languages under these circumstances tends to be listening to online radio and music. Hence, I'd like to hear suggestions for Polish groups/songs. I'm open to anything sung in reasonably clear Polish.
What are your recommendations?

I'm going to take this opportunity to mention my love for Behemoth. They're earlier stuff is the best, and it was in Polish...but not exactly sung. So that renders my post somewhat useless. Sorry.
Ace band, though.

I don't know so much about bands in general, but I do know a couple of songs which I like and from which the lyrics are easy to grasp:
Lady Pank - Stacja Warszawa
Lady Pank - Znowu pada deszcz
T.Love - Chłopaki nie płaczą
Elektryczne Gitary - Kiler
Those are the first which spring to mind. You can look into these bands. Another band, I don't know much about them, except that the lead singer has colorful hair "Ich Troje" :).
By the way, the last two songs are from two Polish comedies with the same name.
If any of the Polish people can help with the following song - an older one. About going on the train and "albo/bylo nie do Warszaswie". Catchy.

You may try this page http://muzyka.interia.pl/teledyski/ . It has many video clips, most of which are not Polish, but there are also all the new Polish clips. You may look for songs by Gosia Andrzejewicz or Kasia Cerekwicka or Virgin. Many people don't like them, but I think they might be good to listen for the lyrics :) Hope it helps.
EDIT: Oh, there is also Karolina Kozak - Razem zestarzejmy się . I like it. Also Myslovitz - Długość dźwięku samotności (I love the text of this one :) )

I think you're talking about this one: Jedzie pociąg z daleka - Ryszard Rynkowski :)

I like a Polish group called Feel (at least I think they are Polish).
