Santimamineko Fandagoa & Ioaeoa by Kopa Junkera. I’m not a big World Music guy, but it’s a happy, happy thing.
Bonde Do Role - Marina Gasolina
I expect a Spotify link to this list once it’s all done. Perhaps I will be able to add some new Dopers to my “like” list (I started with you all on “hate” and am working my way through ;))
Yamore, Salif Keita
Firecracker, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald
“Who Killed the Moonlight,” Nicole Atkins
“Beautiful Haze” by SJD, because it’s pop perfection, a nice melody with some great lyrics. And a very ‘doperish’ point of view in my opinion.
And I’m willing to bet the OP has never heard it as well.
“Forever Young”. Cover by Audra Mae
Float On by Modest Mouse.
So I now have a 25-song (so far) SMDB playlist. Haven’t heard them all yet, but I have not hated anything yet.
I will pop back in to mention what I think are the standouts.
This is too cool, thanks everyone.
Keep 'em coming.
mmm
It occurs to me that I should add a tune to the cause, in case some of you are going to play along at home.
I recently discovered this one that I cannot stop listening to. Very fresh, very enjoyable:
Torpus & the Art Directors: Known, Seen, Judged
mmm
Well, if we are going “doperish” I put up “Standard White Jesus” by Timbuk3. It’s even more doperish cuz it’s old. 
Nope, never heard it. Unfortunately it is not available on Spotify.
Listened to it on YouTube and love it.
mmm
Of Monsters and Men - King and Lionheart
In case you are not familiar with Delerium’s epic album Karma, give a listen to Euphoria (Firefly) featuring Jacqui Hunt.
(Do not confuse with Delerium by Euphoria.)

Rush - Natural Science
Robert Palmer’s version of I Dream of Wires
Only one? 
Loquillo y los Trogloditas, Cadillac Solitario
it may come up under Loquillo y… other names or Loquillo by himself, but it’s the same guy and same song.
Forever Young by Tyketto.
Richard Thompson – Let it Blow
