HMM. Let me see, pulls out my list, I've been getting into Tom Waits recently, I'm not a swampy blues person, I love my trumpets after all but his music is great, a really good jumping off point for the genre. Also as well, Phish! They are fun, if we are talking about just staples of my taste, love me some Frank Zappa, Mr. Bungle, Kate Bush & American Murder Song.
