In the vein of a similar thread I saw recently, pick one genre and give your top 5 bands of that genre. I'll go first. (Doesn't have to be 100% perfect on the genre. For example Samothrace mixes in some blues, Warning is considered by many to be just doom - although I think they cross over to the funeral side of things - etc.)

Funeral Doom Metal
Ahab
Ea
Esoteric
Samothrace
Warning

Powerviolence
Man Is The Bastard
Spazz
The Endless Blockade
Despise You
Hatred Surge

Electric Jazz Fusion

Miles Davis' late '60s/early '70s bands
Miles Davis' early/mid '70s bands w/ Pete Cosey
the original line-up of The Tony Williams Lifetime w/ McLaughlin & Larry Young
Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band
Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters band

Rock/Alternative/Indie/Whatever you want to call it. I'm not very specific.

John Frusciante (solo stuff)
Modest Mouse
Nirvana
Beck
David Bazan

Post-Metal:
Isis
Neurosis
Pelican
Jesu
Boris* (was Godflesh)

My biggest problem with making this list is whether to include Boris or not. I tend to think of them more as drone or sludge, at least the more famous albums. If you want to include Boris, then put them in instead of Godflesh, who also arguably doesn't belong here.

EDIT:: Fuck it, Boris is in.

I'll throw down some post black metal while we're in that neck of the woods.

Post Black Metal
Agalloch
Altar of Plagues
Lantlos
Negura Bunget
Wolves in the Throne Room

Dubstep:
(intentionally left blank.....)

Calypsonians (technically not bands, but solo artists)

Roaring Lion
Mighty Sparrow
Lord Kitchener
Lord Invader
any other calypsonian with "Lord" in their name

Xasthur
The Ruins of Beverast
Ash Borer
Panopticon
