P.O.S. - Audition - A Teddy Bear And A Tazer

Don't like hip-hop/rap?  That's about to change.

The National - Boxer - Apartment Story, Ada, Fake Empire

This is my favorite album of 2007. Give it a chance. These guys are fantastic.

Oxford Collapse - Remember the Night Parties

If you don't pay attention, you'll think you're listening to Wolf Parade.

Chris Clouse - Chimera - Upside Down, Ever so Wrong

The Lowest of the Low - Shakespeare my Butt

Tom Smith - And They Say I've Got Talent - Talk Like A Pirate Day

The best nerd inspired pirate themed song ever written.

Great Big Sea - The Hard And The Easy - Captain Kidd

I've moved on the Pirate genre.

James Newton Howard - Lady In The Water (soundtrack)

I realize my first three rec's were all soundtracks, but I've been writing a TON of papers for seminary, and I can't do lyrics when writing. I'll move on to a different genre now.

Klaus Badelt - Rescue Dawn (soundtrack)

Haven't seen the film yet, but I love the soundtrack. Amazon recommended it to me based on a couple of other CD purchases I had made. They were right.

Clint Mansell - The Fountain (Soundtrack)

Amazing movie. Amazing soundtrack. The Kronos Quartet is heavily featured in this soundtrack. They were also featured (slightly less so) in another Clint Mansell soundtrack, "Requiem for a Dream", also directed by Darron Aronofsky.
