Kate Bush is a cool lady with an amazing voice. That song in particular is real powerful.
I just stumbled across this one.

I just stumbled across this one.
Tor - Glass & Stone
Not my thing but it was super atmospheric and got my mum to listen to it and she really liked it! 7/10
This is my jam.
Not something I'd listen to much anymore, but I'll admit I was drawn in a bit by the steel drum sample.
You may like this one a bit more, though I'm listening to calmer stuff so I get tired and sleep.
Scifer - Coast

Not a fan of screamo at all but the guitar part starting at 1:33 was pretty cool
Beach Boys - Surf's Up
That ending...
10/10 i'm allergic to wasps' stings, so that's an amazing tool.
Will look for it.

I love it, the general sound of the song is awesome. Her singing is very fitting.
Should listen to more of her honestly, only heard a few from her.
Julia Holter - Maxim's I
Another female songwriter worthy of recognition this year, her album blew me away.

Sounds very very interesting, I will check the whole album later for sure. 9/10
Now for something funnnn
Servotron - Matrix of perfection

If they ever do another Jet Set Radio, this would fit in well, between one CiboMatto and the other.

Hmm... I didnt find it that interesting. I wish it had climaxed a bit and she really ripped out some vocals.
Mountain Man- Babylon
A female a cappella group. I've been listening to them a lot lately. They help me relax some.
Bonus song by them

It was good, but something felt off about it, i dunno what. Still it was enjoyable and these ladies definitely have talent 8/10
Massive Attack - Teardrop

Never listened to anything from her before, that I know of. I enjoyed it but it felt a bit too short.
Pinback have released a new song but I'm not so sure if I like it yet so I will post one from a previous record.
Pinback - Fortress

Quite cool, a relaxing listen. 8/10.
I don't think this one will be liked by many, but here we go:

You know what... I'm feeling that. That's a 9.
Below is my favorite Seal song, probably my favorite song of the past 10 years. Downtempo.
Seal - Tinsel Town

Only thing I really knew of by seal was Crazy. This is better, but it's not quite to my tastes (I prefer my music to have a bit more of a rawness to it, a little bit of imperfection that gives it a bit of life)
7.6
Murder By Death: The Desert is on Fire

I celebrate the man's entire catalog.
That song there... I can appreciate it as a 7 or 8, but it's not for me.
I'll leave one more, different than my previous submission.
Neon Horse -> Yer Busy Little Beehive
Blood Diamonds

Not my kind of thing, but it's not bad at all. 6/10
and I guess I'll give it a go-
twenty one pilots: Ode to Sleep
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
Vocally it is not my kind of music but the rest I enjoyed. 6/10

The Sheepdogs "Feeling Good"
Not bad. The vocalist's voice is quite handsome. I think I can drink to this [feelin' good/oh like you know I should]. It also sounds quite familiar, which is a benefit if you like the sound but is also a double-edged sword. Anyway, a 7.5 out of 10.
Oliver's "Night Is On My Mind" (16 seconds to the start of the track)
Edit: oops, I missed my go. Edited my selection to keep the proper sequence.

I really like this, but I cannot place why. I guess the stripped down nature just feels good. 8.9
(the sweet music video doesn't hurt)
Menomena: Pique
At first I thought it was going to be exactly like what I was listening to. I like the distant instrumentals, it's cool, vocals would take a few more listens to accept.
Tor - Nomad
Shit I linked Tor on this page, even.
Buzzcocks - Autonomy

Nomad was pretty good a nice and relaxing song. The static got a bit annoying after awhile.

Very chill, and suave...reminds me of some bond movie anthems.
Stonefield - Put your Curse on Me
First single from their debut Album. Kind of different from their previous songs, but still very reminiscent of '60s and '70s rock like most of their music.

They're definitely some good stuff. Like you said, that 60's/70's rock sound is very apparent, but sort of refreshing in a modern day sense.
Pure Love- Bury My Bones

A lot of tattoos / out of 10. Pretty good, though I'm not heavy into rock. I say... 8.
Teargas & Plateglass - A Book of Black Valentines
The Warrrrrrrrrrrm Warrrrrrrrrm parts are cool but I hate that drum beat so I give it a 6/10.
Opeth - Windowpane
http://grooveshark.com/s/Windowpane/4ytXFF?src=5
^ Beaten. Was going to say that I totally dig the sound of a A Book of Black Valentines. Dark and drum heavy, I give it a 9/10. Gonna search more stuff from this band/artist, thanks!
Anyways, Opeth. Never been the biggest fan of theirs or metal in general, but that song was pretty nice and ominous, nice changes through the song. Didn't blow my mind or anything, but it was cool nonetheless. 7/10
Lately I've been listening to a lot of rather chill dance/electronic music. I've especially been listening to Luomo (aka Vladislav Delay) first two albums, Vocalcity and The Present Lover, some mighty fine Deep House / Micro House albums.
Here is a track from Vocalcity: Tessio
This track was later remixed for The Present Lover.
I think the Vocalcity version is better.

Taking a timeout here. Their first album (that I'm aware of) seems to not be available digitally anymore on iTunes or Amazon.com, perhaps it's other places. They have an album from 2007 (Black Triage) on iTunes that contains 6 new tracks (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8) and 7 tracks off the aforementioned missing album (7*, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14). It's as you said, dark, drum heavy, but I love it. But I grant that it's up to the listener.
* On the original album, this track is titled "Resentments of the Dead". On Black Triage, it is "Pray for Night to Fall." But it's the same track.
Someone please rate the above. I'm at work!
Luomo's aight, solid song. Love the progression.
Volcano Choir - Comrade
Sounds a lot like The Books in my opinion.

This sounds good although I cannot hear anymore auto-tune distorted vocals without thinking of Kanye West, think people should stop using them 7/10 (Ah, it's Bon Iver, sounded familiar)
But hey, thanks for the Jolia Holter recommendation earlier in the thread, I really love the latest album!

It's a good song within that style of music but a bit formulaic, I think.

Despite the tempo, the song is a bit slow for my taste.
Enjoyed it though, 6.8/10

All I know is that, unlike the blonde, this girl didn't seem to appreciate being screamed at by these two douchebags (I'd say the confused look of contemptuous disgust on her face gives her away), but she still tries to stay in character and fake it; she's a trooper.

As for me, I think I'll leave that crap to the screamo posers, and instead entertain myself with a little Isis.

Isis, eh? I'm familiar with them, as well as the likes of Neurosis, Mastodon, etc.

Screaming out of 10. While I'm not completely and totally opposed to the concept, this is not my thing.
Relient K - In Love With The 80s
Being born in the 80's and actually liking the 80's too, the lyrics were pretty fun, but the song was, for me, kind of uninteresting. Can see why people would find it catchy though.
