Tegan & Sara, Fix You Up
Cat Stevens, The Wind
Richie Havens, Follow
The Killers, All the Things That I Have Done
Johnny Cash, I've Been Everywhere

Do you like Simon & Garfunkel? If so, check out the streaming music at www.joshuaradin.com. I've been a little obsessed with it, lately.

That was completely unclear. Joshua Radin is the artist, he just reminds me of S&G.

Stuff I think you will definitely like:
Cat Power, Belle & Sebastian, Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, Neko Case, Nick Drake...

Stuff that builds on the above and pushes boundaries a little:
PJ Harvey, Franz Ferdinand, the Decemberists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the New Pornographers

pandora.com uses the "genes" of music to suggest things you might like. It is quite nifty.

last.fm can give you suggestions too.

I'd suggest Neko Case.

Ha! I already suggested Neko Case, so you can't!

Anyway, I thought perhaps you also might like Stars and Metric, and if you're a little more adventurous, the band they overlap with -- Broken Social Scene (You Forgot It In People was one of the best albums of, um, 2003?).
