The Sumblime Chord from Complete Arcane is great if you want to focus on spellcasting. It comes close to being broken.

From the Quintessential Bard II
Butterfly (I hate the name) - Can move through society, sensing hidden links between people and influencing those connections
Fatesinger - able to affect the elusive concept of fate
Interloper - sort of an adventuring troubleshooter
Magister - bards with a greater focus on magical studies
Planar Envoy - mediation and diplomacy in the outer planes
Shadow Puppeteer - puppetmaster
Storyteller - tales given true form
Vocaliser - sonic attacks
Wanderer - travelling to where he is needed most
Bards no longer suck with the right resources.

Most of these Bard PRC seem to have one of 2 weaknesses:
1) They grant a non-stacking spell progression, like no spells at all (Arcana Archer, if you see it as a Bard PrC), or have their own progression.
2) They grant a stacking spell progression, that is not limited to Bard spellcasting.
The first one simply sucks, the second one usually benefits sorcerer/rogues or similar classes more than the bard itself. Full bard spellcasting isn´t that great compared to the alternatives...
