I've liked Sigur Ros for a bit but they never got the rest of the genre to click for me (Probably because they're so different than most of it). But ever since jackhammer got me on Mogwai I can't get enough.
Mars Volta - De-Loused
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Nick Drake - Family Tree
Elliott Smith - XO
JHE - Are You Experienced
Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
Kurt Cobain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia always thought he was somebody i could stand to be around. It doesnt mention the King Crimson 'Red' influence though which is pretty self-evident
