How about some of ol' Velvet Nose - Warren Zevon? I would recommend any of these three albums:
Warren Zevon
Sentimental Hygiene

You alphabetize according to first name? Go according to last and you might get a bigger batch. |

I highly recommend all of the following all of which generally don't get the exposure and recognition they deserve (in some cases 'deserved', since at least one band on the list is defunct and one artist is dead):
The Hold Steady - Boys And Girls of America
Yo la Tengo - I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans (I wouldn't normally recommend sappy emo but this album is good, esp. the single "crooked Teeth")
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Thievery Corporation - Cosmic game (+special guest artists! such as The Flaming Lips, Perry Farrell, David Byrne...)
TV on Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
Anything by Ted Leo that you can get your hands on.
Wilco and Gomez. If you don't know where to start with them, in the last they both put out amazing double live albums for the first time. Gomez' is "Out West" and Wilco's is "Kicking Television: Live in Chicago"
Sufjan Stevens "Illinois" may very well change your life
The Go! Team
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Engineers - Home
Elbow- Leaders of the Free World
Belle & Sebastian - the Life Pursuit (reminds me of the Housemartins)
New Pornographers- Twin Cinema
Zero 7 either of their 2 albums (electronica, somewhat mellow but really smooth)
OK GO - OH NO (yeah, the treadmill guys- it's a catchy album!)
The Flaming Lips (of course)
Rogue Wave (probably the first album)
Pinback
Phoenix - Alphabetical (Airy French jazz-pop, sung in English)
Elliott Smith |

The Unicorns - great, albeit defunct montreal band. Good indie pop music (2 members ended up creating Islands)
The Verve - Brit pop at its best
I saw you already dug wolf Parade, right on. Check out Sunset Rubdown, it's Spencer's Krug's other project.
Xavier Rudd - australian musician, plays guitars and djiridoos
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - good dance rock music for fans of Metric |

Islands are a bit more polished.
Go to secretunicornsforum.net (i believe tahtst he website, if not just google it) they should have pretty much any unicorns track youc ould want.
I'd suggest ghost mountain or child star |
