I would have to say David Cook.

He's a great vocalist and his new single is amazing.
It kinda has a 90's alternative feel.

Him and Chris Daughtry are about the only two people I can stand from American Idol.
 
I can't really relate to David Cook, but I can relate to liking some pretty random artists.
But recently I took interest in Kimya Dawson, from Juno soundtrack. Theres not a lot to her songs, but at the same time they maintain a really unique style. Their pretty random, and mildly entertaining.
Also a remix of You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones, from the 21 soundtrack caught my eye.
 
Well, I got into Opeth two weeks ago. I really like the guitar in their songs, especially Porcelain Heart, and I think that Mikael Akerfeldt's vocals are amazing. His death growls are good too.

I gave Sparta a listen last night, and I liked 'em. At one point I even forgot that I was listening to Sparta, and thought it was ATDI. I'll have to download some more of them today.
 
Ratatat, but I only really enjoy a few songs of theirs. Their remixes are okay, but nothing special. I try not to be balls-deep into a band so I won't get sick of them later on.
 
my frienRAB showed me the Flobots. I usually dont listne to hip-hop or whatever type of music they are but i like how theyre making protest song in this day and age
 
The last two banRAB that someone ELSE turned me on to, are probably PURE REASON REVOLUTION and RIVERSIDE, two Neo Prog banRAB. I can thank my brother for those...
 
I heard a new band last night called Lynam. SounRAB like one of those new alternative metal banRAB. Heard it on XM.
Their new single is called "Save My Soul".
I'm gonna have to check out some more stuff by them.
 
+1

I just recently got into Isis... i found it really emotive... his growls kinda annoy me he can sing clean in a really sweet way

Ive heard alot about opeth ill youtube it or something :D

I also have Cult of Luna in my to-listen list
 
Definitely Look Daggers.

My girlfriend showed me them, and I love it so far.
[Even though their CD doesn't come out till Sept. 30] >.>;


Anyway.


Look Daggers is...

2Mex [of the Visionaries]
and
Isaiah "Ikey" Owens [of The Mars Volta]
 
Coldplay. I think they came in the right moment for me. I listened to harder music (Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Rage against the machine, Soundgarden, ...) and I think I really needed something new. Coldplay was new :)
