My taste is quite limited in its breadth and depth(me only listening to records released roughly since the Britpop days) so this wouldn't be an all-time list at all.

1. Liam Gallagher on Definitely Maybe
2. Dan Nigro on As Tall As Lions
3. Jonsi on ( )
4. James Allan on Glasvegas
5. Melody Prochet on Melody's Echo Chamber
6. Emily Haines on Fantasies
7. Jonathan Higgs on Get To Heaven
8. Alex Kapranos on Franz Ferdinand
9. Victoria Legrand on Teen Dream
10. Win Butler on Funeral
