You oughta listen to Starless by them.
Hm, haven't heard of Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr. And I don't really know much by the rest. I know a little Pink Floyd, but really just the more popular stuff - Money, Wish you were Here, the Brick in the Wall series.
I'll be honest, I mostly listen to modern music. The only stuff from before the 90's that I've really been into is progressive rock (and the B-52s, love them). My favorite bands at the moment are Muse (their older stuff, I'm disappointed with their last two albums) and Porcupine Tree, but I like a little bit from every genre except Country. I guess if I had to make a list... Muse, PT, Florence + The Machine, Madina Lake, innerpartysystem, Gwen Stefani/No Doubt, the B-52s, CAKE, Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Elliot Minor, deadmau5, and the Gorillaz. And Taylor Swift, she's one of my guilty pleasures.
