In no particular order...

Dream Theater - Octavarium/In the Presence of Enemies/The Shattered Fortress
Nevermore - Born/This Godless Endeavor/Precognition-42147
Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick/Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who is In the Water/Cast Down the Heretic

Burning the Masses: Cyanide
DevilDriver: I Could Care Less
The Black Dahlia Murder: What A Horrible Night to Have A Curse

This is really hard but at the moment....

Not in any order...
Radiohead [Kid A]
Panda Bear [Good Girl/Carrots]
Bjork [It's Not Up to You]
Why? [Simeon's Dilemma]
Susumu Hirasawa [Byakko]

I find myself always going back to these artists for whatever reasons. From their oddball lyric styles, catchy riffs, crush's and just beautiful sounds these groups and people really get me going an never fail to inspire me as cheesy as that sounds.

But I feel I gotta mention these guys to...
Beck, The Mars Volta, The Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, Flying Lotus, Sonic Youth

Good stuff from all them to.

Bright Eyes - True Blue
The Postal Service (Ben Gibbard) - Such Great Heights
Kamelot - When the lights are down or A Sailorman's Hymn
Belle and Sebastian - Mary Jo
Modest Mouse - We've got Everything or Little Motel

I love them because it's relaxing music, most songs are quite slow-paced indiepop/rock ballads. I love the free, chillaxing sound of the bands and their songs, there's nothing better to just chill out to.
Kamelot is obviously and exception, being a powermetal band. ^^

Haji's Kitchen - Cracker
Seven Wiser - Life
Bionic Jive - Ricochet
Creed - Freedom Fighter
Twelve Foot Ninja -Dark Passenger

I Just Like the Songs

Fly Lo is sick, lol.

Bloc Party - Ion Square
Franz Ferdinand - Auf Asche
Interpol - Slow Hands
Julian Plenti - Only If You Run/Fun That We Have
Flow - Days(First Eureka Seven opening theme)

I know what you mean about chill music. You should download some Flying Lotus man. That guy is way chill real creative to.
