Well, generally speaking, I agree with you on the complexity thing... But my taste is sometimes so painfully diverse and complex that I can enjoy more simple music just the same. The extremely beautiful nature of not too complex music can be just as satisfying as the more complex variants - you can wake me up any time of days for some beautiful Goldfrapp, Fiona Apple, Belle & Sebastian and many others.

Me too, it depends on mood, time of day, time of week etc... Sometimes you don't want a really intense experience, so artists like these are just great to listen to.
Looking at your list above, it seems you have a very similar taste in music to me; My Favs for the past few months have been Sigur ros and GYBE! - as with you they have hardly left my cd player.
(BTW have you heard the latest album from A silver mount zion, it is superb)
These are musicians that you have to listen to properly to fully appreciate. You can't just have the music playing in the background like the 3 minute pop gems that get released - it just doesn't work. Sounds pretentious, and most of their music is, but this doesn't in the middle of a track when you couldn't care less if it has been playing for 10 minutes or 10 hours. It's not to everyones taste of course.
