What music you been listening to??

I've been plugged into youtube playlists a lot recently because I've been a bit bored of my own music. Sitting at a computer for hours on end I always have headphones on. I was wondering what you've been listening to lately to get some ideas for more music to try out.

The music I've been listening to most lately has been:

Powderfinger - great Aussie rock band from Brisbane where I grew up
Daft Punk - some techno helps pass hours of time for me
Billy Joel - something of an experiment. I love his live performances especially.
Rage Against the Machine - I was a bit pissed off recently and it was perfect for my mood.
Ben Folds - great musician, great comedy.
Jack Johnson - good chilled out guitar songs

It's a pretty sort and diverse list.

I'd love to get some suggestions...

        Just an FYI ( you may already know this)
        Bandit in a Bathing Suit and Reckless Abandon was not originally a double album. They originally came out as individual releases.

          Yep. I have "Bandit" on vinyl here somewhere, along with "Demon in Disguise."

    I came back tonight (went for something to eat and drink) and listened to Kings Of Leon and Kasbian at Reading V festival. Disappointingly KOL decided the sound system wasn't right so ended their set 30 minutes early!

    The Flaming Lips...LOVE them. New album (Embryonic) is awesome
    Placebo (saw them mentioned already on this thread...great band)
    MGMT
    Dredg
    I'm also a huge fan of rockabilly / pscyhobilly (Reverend Horton Heat, Tiger Army, Nekromantix, etc.)

    My tastes are so eclectic though, it really depends on my mood. Some days I'm listening to Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry, other days its Marilyn Manson and Meshuggah...

    I listen to whole range of music.

    Everything from dodgy old Bob Dylan bootlegs to pop ballads by Mariah Carey (who's a very cool person, by the way.)

    At the moment my favourite song has to be this one from Alicia Keys.
