Melanie Martinez from the Voice. I wish M. Martinez would do a cover of "Into the West" from Annie Lennox, on the Voice, if it winds up working for her.
Unheilig.
Linkin Park
I just bought Evanescense "Fallen" on Itunes, while I like it, I'm not sure if I completely dig them.
The Alan Parsons Project. Although it doesn't use lyrics, I see that as a strength since there's no crutch for music to fall back on, and we can see for sure if it can stand out.
I like Tame Impala and The Flaming Lips, haven't heard the others though.

Stardeath and White Dwarfs is a band along similar lines to The Flaming Lips, particularly their more recent work. Though I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise when Stardeath and White Dwarfs' frontman Dennis Coyne is the nephew of The Flaming Lips' frontmant Wayne Coyne. They have an EP called That's Cool out, and an album The Birth. They've also collaborated with The Flaming Lips on several things, namely a cover of Madonna's Borderlin, a cover album of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and contributed a cover of The Court of the Crimson King to The Lips' project of covering King Crimson's debut.
I've been listening to The Mars Volta over the last week, which I hadn't planned on doing. I've got so many albums to get into, but sometimes it's too tempting to listen to what I already know.Â
Discovered wall-of-fuzz, stoner/doom bands Acid King and Annimal Machine, and just got into BDM about a month ago, and Cryptopsy, Decrepit Birth, and Beneath the Massacre are my favorites so far.
