I'll start with my nominations :

Seth Bogart - Hollywood Squares
Mercury Girls - All That Heaven Allows

The Anchoress - Doesn't Kill Me
The Divine Comedy - Catherine the Great

Seconded

Also just heard this on the radio. Not had time to fully evaluate yet. It's a bit weird in a Kate Bush sort of way but certainly grabs you.

Let's Eat Grandma - Rapunzel

Melanie De Biasio - Blackened Cities

This chart is further proof on how I don't understand how I'm the biggest fan of "Burn the Witch".

The songs in this chart, while good, aren't as strong as Radiohead's back catalogue perhaps.

Nomination:
Fantastic Negrito - Hump Thru the Winter
