As for specific Opeth songs, here's some suggestions:

"Ghost of Perdition"
"The Lotus Eater"
"Face of Melinda"
"Windowpane"
"Bleak"

Not sure if you're into metal, but I feel like many people can at least appreciate their musical talent. The vocalist does both the growl and singing (extremely good at both), plays guitar, and writes all the music. Their songs are all long (like 10 minutes), and it can take a few listens through to "get" it. But, once you do, it's incredible. Also, they're progressive, so they're not strictly metal. They mix tons of genres. Their "Damnation" album is a 100% soft album.
 
Other than Lady Gaga, I would say there hasn't been any good music since 1993 or so

Lady Gaga hasn't done anything earth shattering IMO. Some catchy pop songs performed well, nothing more.

If you want to look at someone who burst onto the scene and made some huge hits, look at Jagged Little Pill, like every song on that album went to #1 at some point. Fame Monster on the other hand has some real duds.

As for this decade, Muse comes to mind as a good band that has thier own style and makes great music.
