I'm glad to see people list some of my favorites. Good to see more progressive listings. :)

Bjork is the most solid one on my list. She has created so many new environments, is so innovative, and the results are just so beautiful, I think she's up there in the pantheon.

Babyshambles/libertines - I think that guy is really tapping in, he's created some new spaces, he has a way with great lyrics and some new sounds, so he's in.

Moby did some nice electronic stuff, is he there though?

Any thoughts on Interpol? I love their music, I think they can do coldplay better than coldplay( on "pace is the trick"), their 3 records are solid, solid, solid. I don't know if they are too derivative of bauhaus, etc, so i'm on the fence about including them. I have similar concerns about the strokes, three addictive albums, but did they do anything new?

Bjork is wonderful. I haven't really listened to her last album. I've started it a few times, but I haven't been able to "get my head around it"....yet.

I like Moby too. "Play" was worth the hype.

Here's a few other recommendations:

"Outrospective" & "To All New Arrivals" by Faithless
"Third" by Portishead
"Seventh Tree" by Goldfrapp
"New Amerykah" by Erykah Badu
"The Seldom Seen Kid" by Elbow
"Fleet Foxes" by Fleet Foxes

I would add Tori Amos and I am sure there are others but she comes to mind first. Marc

Fytunes, I prefer Portishead's Dummy to Thirds, I think it is a classic but glad they made thirds and did not try to duplicate their old sound.

btw what is your favorite Bjork?

How would you describe Fleet Foxes?

thanks...
