Interesting to see someone discovering Blue Cheer. I'm surprised to see they have some staying power. I actually listened to my LP this year after pulling out all the old albums after your post about "Blues From Laurel Canyon", so I suppose I could say I "rediscovered" both Blue Cheer and John Mayall.

Discoveries for me were :
Composers:

Christian Lindberg
Kalevi Aho
Christoper Rouse

Ronald Brautigam

Canteloube: Songs of the Auvergne (heard in concert, still deciding on a CD pick)

Sonny Landreth - Eric Clapton says he's one of the most underrated musicians out there.. the guy is just an amazing slide guitar player and writes decent songs too. His latest album From the Reach has gotten really good reviews on Amazon. I figure most guitar players would really appreciate this guy.
Neville Brothers - Funky and soulful.. just an all-around amazing band. I got a CD called Live From Planet Earth that I can't stop listening to.
New Orleans Social Club - Ivan Neville's new group with some of the original members of The Meters with a couple other guys.. great funky music.
Talking Heads - I heard their live album Stop Making Sense and loved it.. I love good funky music, I just don't know what the hell David Byrne is singing about.

Ryan Bingham - Good rock music with country flavor.. I think his latest album is called Mescalito.
Susan Tedeschi - Reminds me of Bonnie Raitt.. but her music is more rooted in traditional blues music than Bonnie's last couple of records. Great voice!

i also started to listen to some power metal and its great, i discovered some really amazing albums,part of them you mentioned above like:ayreon-into the electric castle,symphony x-v, etc... but the greatest was undoubtely the therion album-"gothic kabbalah", one of the best rock creations i listened to!

A lot actually, I can't remember all, but here are a few good ones...

Jazz:
Fourplay

Actually, it's a re-discover for me since I've been listening to this when I was a kid, but it's only now that I actually learned the titles and artist.
