Some I particularly like these days:
Arctic Monkeys - solid garage band, great lyrics
Kino - Progressive rock, with a touch of late sixties and a quite ductile style
Tan Dun - He's one of the best living composers for me. He did a couple of soundtracks (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero), but his masterpiece IMO is Eight Memories In Watercolor
Gotan Project - they reinvent tango with a truly modern vibe
Damien Rice - He's a brilliant Irish songwriter, definitely influenced by Nick Drake but his songs are worlds built with pure poetry and deep emotions. Plus the singer who usually duets with him, Lisa Hannigan brings even more magic to his music. His new album is going to be released in November.
Oh, and that lady who was touring with Tom Petty... she sounds cool.
