Do you guys and gals recommend any of those?

I went to Borders and they didn't even have Fela Kuti, but I guess that's too african for a white neighborhood.
Spoon - "Gimme Fiction" or the new on "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" are both good.

The Flaming Lips - "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" is about five years old, but excellent.

Arcade Fire - I like "Funeral" better than their new release.

Thievery Corporation - This is mellow electronica (downtempo) I have several of their tracks, it's really just chill music.

My Morning Jacket - "It Still Moves" is a classic - one of my favorites. I thought "z" was the best album of '05

For music released this year check out The White Stripes - "Icky Thump", Spoon - "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" (listed above), The National - "Boxer" or Wilco - "Sky Blue Sky"
