Nevermind would be a good album to begin with. Then go on to Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Mudhoney, Melvins, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and from there GO MAD!

Mmmmmm Sonic Youth

I think I'll have some now!

it all really depends on who YOU are. If you want to talk current music then things we have going today that are pretty popular are indie rock/alternative, straight radio mainstream rock, there's the punk/emo thing, there's hip hop (good and bad haha) so on and so forth. If i had to personally recommend things it would be like this:

you have your indie rock bands/artists: bright eyes, white stripes, spoon, elliot smith (R.I.P.), the national, and many more

you have alternative: Radiohead, smashing pumpkins, Coldplay, muse, nirvana, oasis, the smiths etc. (mind you there are many subgenres of alternative such as alt-metal, alt-rap, britpop etc.)

you have punk and post punk: the pixies, joy division, the clash, ramones, etc.

you have classic rock and oldies: led zeppelin, the who, pink floyd, queen, u2, the beatles, beach boys, bob dylan, neil young etc.

you have metal (older and newer subgenres): black sabbath, metallica, tool, mastadon etc.

you have rap ( also with its various subgenres): nas, public enemy, N.W.A., kanye west, outkast,

then there are more underground genres like electronica, ambient, post rock etc.: aphex twin, squarepusher, sigur ros, explosions in the sky

most of these artists are artists i listen to, however i am a music LOVING 20 year old, you may be of a different age group, for the most part i hope those genres help, once you find a genre you like, then you go from there finding different bands in that genre, it all really depends on what type of person you are, radiohead in my opinion is a step in the right direction though

For now, I love listening to Mandy Moore's Umbrella version.
