Help with finding some new music

[Zevico]

So I've found a few bands I really like, but am running rather low on ideas otherwise. Some assstance would be appreciated in the way of suggestions. I'd prefer modern music this time, not classical. Here's a list of music I like, and if you enjoy similar stuff then please mention it.
Bands/Artists I like a lot:
Queen
Pink Floyd
Elliot Smith
Stan Getz

Bands/Artists I like (in no particular order):
BB King
Miles Davis
Aracde Fire
Audioslave
Radiohead
Wolfmother
Nick Drake (he's a bit slow though and boring sometimes though...)
Johnny Cash (except not his cheerful country stuff. He seems to do sad songs well though, and maybe that's what country music does well, but damn anything other than is just wierd and lame).
Jeff Buckley

Bands/Artists I'm curious about [if you listen to these and would recommend some songs to get, that would be good, as I have only a few):
Dresden Dolls

Thank ye kindly.

If you are willing to try something a little different, check out this site and search for the bands Värttinä, Hedningarna, Sorten Muld and Gjallarhorn. They each have a number of albums and each one has a free sample track available from it.

In a different vein, you might want to try Nightwish. It is a bit heavier than the bands you mentioned, but I have yet to meet anyone that didn't like at least some of their music.
