IMO, Sigur Ros is one of the best bands playing right now. Their music is simply beautiful, no better words could describe it. I can't wait for their new album to come out, and for them to come on tour.
(For those who don't know them. Every once and a while, their music is in some movies. i.e. during the submarine scene at the end of Life Aquatic)
I'm surprised that Stereolab has not been mentioned yet. Any one of their albums promises quite a listening experience.
