I checked Facebook before LJ, and I left some stuff there. :D (Jack's Mannequin, Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden, Stabilo). There's more that I forgot, though. Vienna Teng- beautiful melodies (musicianship is off the charts), her voice is mesmerizing and the lyrics!
I don't know if you listened to Tori Amos back in the day (ah, the '90s. XD), but she also has some great songs- "Past the Mission," "Cornflake Girl," "Angels," "God," "Icicle," "Mother," "Winter," "Precious Things," and of course the quintessential "Silent All These Years."
Another band I've been a fan of for a few years is Alkaline Trio. They have a simple musical style (similar to Green Day, their influence), and the melodies are quick and up-beat, but the lyrics are kind of...twisted. The good kind of twisted. ;D Try "Queen of Pain" and "Warbrain" to start off, but other good ones are "Hell Yes," and "Calling All Skeletons." (Best of all, listen to "Love Love, Kiss Kiss"- it sounds as if it's sung by a passerby commenting honestly on Edward Cullen and all of his shenanigans. XD)
