Mumford and Sons-Sigh No More
Dire Straits-any album -but maybe Alchemy (live)
The Panics-Cruel Guard
Leonard Cohen-Live in London
Daryl Braithwaite-The Lemon Tree
Susan Vega-Retrospective
Rodrigo Y Gabriela-11:11
Modest Mouse-Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Vampire Weekend-Self titled or Contra (out on 12th Jan 2010)

I second the Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens recommendations. Illinois is a great album, it's been on my playlist for the last month.

If you haven't already, check out Shearwater as well. Winged Life and Rooks are my favorite.

 

[Deep Funk]

K-os from Canada is interesting too. He makes hiphop and combines this with all kinds of music. His first two album are really worth a listen. Pete Philly & Perquisite from the Netherlands do the same thing in a very original way.

Kyuss, their album 'Blues for the Red Sun' still blows me away. Of course the desert/stoner rock sound has to be to your liking.

Coldplay, their album 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' silences me every time. I can't really categorize them and their sound. It just... amazes me.

Here are bands I have recently added to my collection.

Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
Porcupine Tree
Manchester Orchestra
Elbow
As Tall As Lions
Erik Mongrain (tap guitarist)
