What recent music is everybody listening to? (I mean "recent" in the Roxy sense, so anything from the last 10 years fits the bill).

"Written In The Stars" - Tinie Tempah (Shockingly !) - The guy who sings and plays keys has a fab voice ! Have a listen.

On the basis of "Anything in the last 10 years" I might get away with including oldies like Springsteen's "The Rising" (2002) his best album since "The River" in my opinion, or Dylan's "Modern Times" (2006) or even Leonard Cohen's "Live in London" (2009) recorded a day or so after I saw the great man at Edinburgh Castle and still as good an introduction to the world of Cohen as I can think of, but I suspect the question should refer to more "modern" acts.
In which case The Killers' "Sam's Town" is rather splendid as is singer Brandon Flowers' solo album "Flamingo"- go for the deluxe edition, it's worth it for the extra tracks.
Green Day's "American Idiot" album is good if you like post punk acts.
The Gaslight Anthem is an act that has been picking up praise in some quarters- their latest album "American Slang" was highly praised in the press, but I find that album a bit one dimensional and prefer their earlier effort "The '59 sound".
And I've only recently (and somewhat belatedly) discovered Muse- their album "The Resistance" is the first of theirs I've bought, but I don't think it will be the last.

Regina Spektor, Martina And The Diamonds.

I went to the Montreux Jazz Festival last year and saw Roxy Music and stayed for 6 days to see Regina Spektor too. That was an unforgettable show as one of her band Daniel Cho was drowned in Lake Geneva in the day before so it was a rather sombre performance.

You might like this, a sort of poppy Roxy Music with guitar playing heavily influenced by Manzanera
