I should rifle through your LastFM for recs.
I used to LastFM but I got pissed about the privacy violations and quit. If I were going to recommend something for you, it would probably be Kavinsky or Poni Hoax.

Peter Hammill too. I have only heard a couple of his solo albums but I'm a VdGG fan.
Oh and...welcome. |
My favorite PH solo album is The Future Now, which is an effortless work of pop, rock, and prog mastery. I feel that David Bowie owes a debt to PH and VdGG that he will never publically admit to - a debt probably much greater than any of the ones he WILL admit to.
But yeah Lansing Dreiden is the best thing that ever happened to my ears. I heard Incomplete Triangle by accident soon after it was released, and it was like an electrical storm in my bathing suit area, IYKWIM, AITYD, IRTYD. I'd never heard anything I loved so much so quickly before.

The part of my musical lineage that I am most ashamed of.
I have strong and mixed feelings about U2, the band that got me off my pre-teen dance pop fixation. But no sooner did I find them then they veered away from anything I would consider listenable! It was only on their recommendations that I listened to Joy Division or David Bowie or all kinds of other critically important music.
I owe them a listener's debt that can't be paid down, but I also can't listen to anything released after Passenger. Except Discotheque in weak moments. And I hate Joshua Tree and Rattle & Hum now just because I've heard it too much.
My favorite U2 album has been Unforgettable Fire for a few (7?) years now.
My favorite Bowie album is Low and my favorite Scott album is Scott 3, but Tilt is not very far behind.
