Metal, but not death:
Masterplan (1 album)
Helloween (loads - been going since the 80's)
Gamma Ray (loads - been going since early 90's IIRC)
Dragonforce (2 albums - new - made their break on mp3.com)
Rhapsody (Dunno)
Sonata Artica (dunno)
Sinergy (dunno)

All great bands, the bottom two less so though.
IMHO - Rasmus are the worst kind of crap in the world, but that's MHO.

Jim Hall. He's a great jazz guitarist, and has some great stuff with others.

Dream Theater (progressive metal)
The Juliana Theory (emo? indie?)
King's X (prog rock)
Matthew Good Band (sorta Pop, sorta not)
Apocalyptica (cello quartet that plays popular metal songs, like Metallica, among other stuff. check out their version of Grieg's "Hall of the Mountain King")

Peter Mulvey -- folk, acoustic guitar-type stuff. pretty good... he got his start performing on subways in Boston. currently touring the UK, I think. look for "the trouble with poets" or "out here".

Guster -- couldn't even begin to describe their music, but it's great. think, 80's new wave meets 90's alternative rock.

Joe Satriani (if you like guitar instrumental music)
Nuno Beetencourt
Population 1 is pretty cool
I used to listen to a band called Nuclear Valdez they were awesome, but i think they are out of the business now.....
