Requesting music suggestions
Dimmukane:
Mr. Bungle's pretty fun to sing along to.
Almost anything Mike Patton does is fun to sing along to, or to try to sing along to.
IronOxide:
Also, everything you are looking for seems to lend itself to Musical Theater and Opera.
Wagner will reward you for listening carefully, most musicals and opera have [good?] stories, characters with interesting and distinct voices, and without vocal harmony, most of the songs would be pretty boring.
I'm going to tell you to get one of the works from Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen cycle, the original British Cast Recording of Les Miserables, and the original Broadway recording of Avenue Q.

I don't know about anyone else, but reading your list of qualifications the first and only thing that came to my mind was The Fiery Furnaces. Specifically Rehearsing My Choir (even though it's nowhere near as good, objectively, as Blueberry Boat or Widow City).
Juxtaposition:
I'd reccomend The Decemberists, though I've never really understood why people think Colin's voice is weird. Also, The Builders and The Butchers are awesome, and the lead singer has a really weird cool voice. If you want to hear something new every time you listen, try Menomena. You could listen to one song of theirs every day for years and still hear something new every time. If you like The Postal Service and haven't listened to any Death Cab For Cutie yet, you are as silly as I was a year ago. (I bought one of their albums because someone suggested it. I then spent months trying to figure out what sounded so familiar about it.)
monkandmovies13:
You definitely seem like a Decemberists person.
Try Richard Thompson. I'm falling in love with him right now.
Joanna Newsom has the weirdest voice. Most people I know hate it. I absolutely love her, however.
And KATE BUSH!!!!!
