I like a lot of mid 90s alt rock / some newer indie / alt music and of course 60 / 70s classics. The further down you get the newer the music gets. Here is a fairly comprehensive list to make a musical composite sketch. It doesn't include all of them but gives a good cross section. If you have any new indie / alt music or even some any 60s / 70s / 80s that I may have missed feel free to make some suggestions. Anyway, I love music, that's right, I said it. Music and I have had a 30 year love affair and its been great.

Coconut Records - New to me... decent sound
Eels - Deserve a double mention... they got some really solid mellow music
Frank Black - Lead Singer of pixies
Jurassic 5 - a little hip-hop off the beaten track
Lousy Robot - just found them... Check out the song "A Not Quite Perfect Film"
Modest Mouse - great indieish music, it's not for everyone but I loves it.
