I really shouldn't be doing this yet as I've probably only listened to ten albums, and perhaps even fewer, but here goes:
Lord Huron - Strange Tails
Jamie xx - In Colour
Passion Pit Kindred
Madeon - Adventure
Awolnation - Run
Of those mentioned elsewhere on this thread, I've listened to Alabama Shakes and Kendrick Lamar. I thought the Kendrick album was way overrated. I thought the Shakes album was really good in spots but not that deep.
I just finished Hot Chip and did not love it. Wale and Death Cab are next on my list.

Not everyone likes rap though
I do like Kendrick fwiw. But I can't listen to rap daily, not my thing.

Viet Cong and Sufjan are far more groupthink picks than a bad Mumford album or Alabama Shakes, FWIW.

What kind of music is this?
Seems like the board loves this guy, have never listened to him.

Maybe Sufjan, but I'm not sure how Viet Cong would be. That album fricking rocks and is definitely not that easily-accessible to the casual listener.
I agree though that RollDatRoll's list isn't bad at all, and probably has much more to do with the fact that he really enjoys those albums rather than because other people like them.

Why do you think that?

The more I listen to this album the more I love it. All Our Songs, Living Zoo, On the Way, Another Day, So, and When I'm Blind are all very good songs, and some are excellent. Overall a strong album, and probably my favorite of theirs since Keep It Like A Secret.

I need to revisit this. My very first impression was that I miss his fingerstyle guitar that featured so prominently on Shallow Grave, and The Wild Hunt. But I'm sure it will grow on me the same way There's No Leaving Now did.

Must acquire. I remember watching a video about it a while back, but I never got it. It has more full instrumentation, no?

Maybe let us know what some of the genres are for the lesser known/popular artist?
I skim threw list like this but have very little interest n some of it. Just a thought
