That's a solid list from my perspective. Winehouse, Fleet Foxes, and The National are all ones that could've easily made my list too. I have to admit I never really gave a second thought to Joanna Newsom. Seeing how highly you rate her I'll have to give her another shot. It seems as though the huge names of today are really difficult to come to a consensus on, and while you shared with me your displeasure with Lady Gaga I'll go ahead and express my distaste for Kanye West. I could go into my full opinion on him more, but to put it succinctly his sound lacks inspiration and musicianship to me. But, to each his own. I think it's fair to say that mainstream radio music as a whole lags far behind other genres in quality.
