I love pretty much every thing this band has ever done. Here's a track from their most recent album, in my opinion it is the perfect example of 'beautiful' music

Menomena - Tithe

Yay for post-rock! Although I'm not sure if it is haha, post-rock doesn't usually have lyrics.

I love most bands similar to what Alex had posted including The Echelon Effect, 65daysofstatic, The Best Pessimist or Explosions In The Sky.
Here's a good example of the genre from I Hear Sirens (called Breath On Glass):

Very late last night I heard this song and because I'm feeling festive I thought I'd share:
Stay Another Day- Frank Eddie RMX (http://vimeo.com/32667881)
For the non-brits the East 17 song Stay Another Day was christmas number 1 in 1994 and has since become a staple christmas song on pop radio and at 90s nights, so this remix is both awesome and nostalgic. Plus the animations are really cool.

In terms of post-rock I have to mention And So I Watch You From Afar whose new album is really great.

Finally I'll throw in Purity Ring who have the cool-right-now-for-some-reason band dynamic of girl singing and man on synth/guitar (other great bands with this set up include Best Coast, Cults, Peking Lights, Visions of Trees, The Kills and everyones favourite indie-folk-pop[nb]Hoo-ray for hy-phens![/nb] duo Kings of Convenience). Plus they're really great live.

Hooray Purity Ring! The guy behind all the production is from Edmonton, a band I used to play in recorded with him a couple times. He's extremely talented, no wonder Purity Ring is so big these days!

Coldcut music is great if you want to edit videos
Luke burrage used cold cuts "More Beats and Pieces" in his top 4 jugglers of 2009 video

Wow there is some amazing music in this thread! I'm not sure if anyone here listens to rap but if you do, check out Logic... he was recently signed to DefJam and in this song he raps over one of Outkast's old beats, you may recognize it :) If you like this listen to his other stuff, his flow is awesome.

I love all sorts of music, but one of my absolute favorites is scandinavian metal.  I consider Sonata Arctica to be among my top favorite bands ever.

This song is from their album that just came out, and quite frankly, I get it stuck in my head so much I catch myself singing it all the time. If you happen to like it let me know and I'll recommend other songs of theirs or other bands that are similar.

I really like this song. I'm using it for my edit that I'm editing. It's by the same artist as the song from the Santa Cruze edit from yoyojordan.
