  If you like jazz, Esperanza Spalding is an awesome new talent. She plays a mean standing bass and has a golden voice. Portland native too.

  Great suggestions. Thanks. I saw Florence and the Machine in concert, as the opening act for U2. Great music and talent. I'll start working through the other suggestions.. I've also enjoyed a few other contemporary artists, including Lana Del Ray and Kendrick Lamar and Black Eyed Peas.

  Clutch, Orange Goblin, Electric Wizard, the Sword, Sleep. These are more stoner rock/metal stuff but still worth a listen.

  rockie: I have also "discovered" Alabama Shakes and Susan Tedeschi. Great stuff. My tastes are pretty eclectic-- Arcade Fire, Animal Collective (the Merriwether Post Pavillion album) and Alt-J are all worth a listen. Lots of great suggestions-- I'll do some sampling!

  The last two decades are probably my least favorite in terms of "modern" music. Many of the bigger acts in the 90s and even 80s were still making good music in the 00s and beyond. Let's see: Oasis, Linkin Park, Keane, Cake, The Killers, The Postal Service, MGMT, Evanescence, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, John Legend, Foo Fighters are some i haven't see in this discussion.

  Lots of good recommendations already. Black Keys [view link] Kendrick Lamar, needs to be re-mentioned. The guy won a Pulitzer prize for Christ's sake. [view link] If you want something heavier, try Nile (Death Metal) or Opeth (Swedish Death Metal), or Nine Inch Nails (Industrial). The Black Keys might be something closer to what you already listen to, though.
