Agree with the comment below. But I really do not judge you, there are moments when I could make a chart with complete discographies of some bands... As for recommendations, try The Stone Roses if you like The Smiths, also some great 60s albums like Pet Sounds, The Songs of Leonard Cohen and Simon & Garfunkel stuff. U2 is also a fantastic band not represented here that I think you'd love, The Unforgettable Fire or The Joshua Tree would be the best place to start

Some good picks, but very centered on 3 or 4 bands (Radiohead). Radiohead is good, but their entire discography really doesn't make up 20% of the top 40 albums of all time. I'd recommend you check out the flaming lips; their earlier stuff is kinda like bends-era radiohead, and their stuff around the year 2000 is a little like Radioheads later stuff. Also, for stuff like TKOL check out Aphex Twin. I'd also rec both Illinois and Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens, I think you would like both. Also, Meddle and Animals are both great Pink Floyd records. ANd for some 60's music, take a look at "odyssey and oracle" by The Zombies and "Forever Changes" by Love.
