I think keeping it to one song per artist will make it more fun, as it eliminates anyone listing 10 songs from two albums or stuff like that.  I will take these 10:

Death Cab for Cutie - Unobstructed Views
The Decemberists - January Hymn
Devin Townsend - Ghost
Dream Theater - Bridges in the Sky
dredg - Down Without a Fight
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Foo Fighters - Back & Forth
Neal Morse - Crossing Over/Mercy Street Reprise
Radiohead - Staircase
Steven Wilson - Deform to Form a Star

Bon Iver - Michicant
The Dear Hunter - Filth and Squalor
Dream Theater - Bridges in the Sky
Eisley - Smarter
Hillsong United - Nova
Mastodon - Curl of the Burl
Neal Morse - The Truth Will Set You Free
Thrice - Call It In the Air
Within Temptation - Faster

Besides NM, DT, and HSU, the others may very well change as I get more familiar with them. Only 8 9 because the other albums I've heard haven't had enough listens to get favorites from.
