I just started listening to awesome music about two years ago, so I had alot of catching up to do.

Radiowar:
As far as listening to music, I feel terribly like I've wasted the year.

All that comes to mind is Bright Size Life by Pat Metheny.

nescience:
Ooh, I'm excited about people who like lists!  (edit)I'll elaborate on these albums:

Bernard Szajner - Some Deaths Take Forever
-As I said in some other thread, he's like the French Brian Eno and he invented the LASER HARP!

Les Rhythmes Digitales - Darkdancer
-Stuart Price (aka Jacques Le Cont, aka Thin White Duke, aka producer of Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor) does his thing.  I am a huge Zoot Woman fan and I'm surprised to find that this album is known much more widely than his Zoot Woman work.  Features "Music Makes You Lose Control," which is sampled on Missy Elliott's "Control" along with Cybotron's "Clear."  Nik Kershaw does vocals on "Sometimes."

Daryl Hall - Sacred Songs
-I love Hall & Oates!  Let's try Daryl Hall with Robert Fripp producing, playing guitar, co-writing songs, and using some kick-ass Frippertronics.

Tahiti 80 - Wallpaper For the Soul
-First Tahiti 80 that I'd heard.  Pretty French pop.

Arthur Russell - Calling Out Of Context
-Disco artist (as Loose Joints & Dinosaur) and classically-trained cellist makes pretty avant-garde love songs

David Sylvian - Secrets Of the Beehive
-Former Japan singer who has worked with Holger Czukay, Robert Fripp, and Christian Fennesz.

Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra
-Pristine krautrock.  Great version of the hymn "Kyrie Eleison."
