Recommend me some music

(1/7) > >>

schimmy:
My birthday's coming up in two weeks and I'm still not sure what I should get. I want a bunch of new CDs from bands I haven't heard before, but I don't know what to get.
Some bands/artists I like are (in no particular order):
Sufjan Stevens
The Decemberists
Iron and Wine
Iron Maiden
Anti-Flag
All Girl Summer Fun Band
Bright Eyes
Dirty Pretty Things / The Libertines
Apples in Stereo
Neutral Milk Hotel
Architecture in Helsinki
Bad Religion
Band of Horses
Beck
Belle and Sebastian
The Dandy Warhols
Sonic Youth
The Fiery Furnaces
The Futureheads
The Flaming Lips
Jeff Buckley
Modest Mouse
The New Pornographers
The Shins
System of a Down
The Zutons
LCD Soundsystem

I do not like:
Broken Social Scene (Only heard the self-titled album)
The Liars (I've only heard Drum's not Dead)
The Arctic Monkeys


I'm pretty open minded to what to get. I'm especially interested in adding some good rap (of which I know none, as of yet) and maybe some dance.

E. Spaceman:
!!!
Neko Case (singer in New Pornos, much better solo)
Röyksopp
Death In June
Arcade Fire
Wolf Parade
Death From Above 1979

Garcin:
In no particular order:

Regina Spektor
Aloha
TV on the Radio
Figurines
Asobi Seksu
Camera Obscura (yes I know it's advertised on indieclick)
Wilderness
Final Fantasy
Islands
The New Pornographers (I'm going to disagree with E. Spaceman and say that I think Neko Case's finest stuff has been as a part of the New Pornographers.  Her solo stuff is much closer to alt-country -- which if you like that genre is good -- I don't particularly.  Mass Romantic, on the other hand, is just plain fucking amazing).
Super Furry Animals
Yo La Tango
Les Savy Fav (maybe)

Our tastes are very similar, so I'm pretty confident that you're going to like most of these.

For good "rap" (really indie or instrumental hip hop) check out:
Aceyalone & RJD2 -- Magnificent City
MIA & Diplo -- Piracy = Terrorism
Lady Sovereign -- Vertically Challenged
DJ Shadow -- One Night in Bangkok (pirated); Brain Freeze (don't bother trying to buy it, just download).
DJ Krush -- practically anything (you'll either like it or you won't) but particularly Shinso
RJD2 -- Practically anything, particularly Deadringer

For good dance (really IDM or EBM) check out:
Aphex Twin
Akufen
Underworld

TrueNeutral:
The Eels and E's solo work (I always end up recommending that, don't I?)

KharBevNor:
I'll put a tad of variety in here...

New Model Army
Strawberry Switchblade
Changes
Tan-Hauser Gate
UK Subs
Backworld
Joyless
Patrick Wolf
British Sea Power
Anne Clark
Sorrows
