I discovered Sufjan Stevens only about a year ago, but in that year, I have more or less only listened to Sufjan. A truly unique artist with melodies and arrangements that make your hairs rise. One of the greatest composers of the last 30 years, and this album is his greatest without a single bad track, which is a feat considering the album contains 22 tracks.

Not many newer rock bands have managed to resonate with me, but the Arctic Monkeys sure knew what they where doing already from a young age. Their first, and their best album is a fast paced one, and it might leave your head shaking after listening to it.

Arctic Monkeys decided not to be much worse at their second try on an album. Right from the start, we are hammered with the fast Brianstorm. Alex Turner still confuses us with tongue twisters, but still in a good way.

Nice chart! I don't know if you tried Gentle Giant, but based on your tastes, I think you might like it (Three Friends, Free Hand, Octopus, Gentle Giant). Also, have you heard "Time And A Word" from Yes? This album is crazy good!
