Eminem - Lose Yourself. I have never before had rap speak to me like that. I was floored. I actually added it to my kareoke repetoire.
Coheed and Cambria - Everything Evil. Melody and complexity unlooked for in a modern "hard rock" band. Very impressed
CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings - Black Sabbath would have been proud to have written that riff.

Lose Yourself - that's a damn good song. I believe it's one of this best, if not his best. People were calling him a modern day "Elvis" when that song came out because of his success with 8 Mile (a movie) and with a bunch of singles in a row. Very reminiscent of a portion of Elvis' career....
Coheed and Cambra - very interesting band. I heard they sucked really bad live, but the album is damn good, I listened to it every day over the summer (coworkers were obsessed).
CKY - Camp Kill Yourself. For such a juvenile name, this band kicks ass when it comes to "96 Quiet Bitter Beings." What a fucking riff....one of the best rifts in a song I've ever heard.
All these are excellent choices
