When I was dating my now wife, she couldn't understand how I enjoyed Sigur Ros so much as their lyrics are either Icelandic or made up. She then accompanied me to a show during Hvarf/Heim and she completely flipped her script. Hoppípolla was played at our wedding.
Your list is pretty close. I might swap The Bends for In Rainbows, White Album for Revolver, and add Death Cab's Transatlanticism somewhere but that's about it. If you'd have told me I'd spend my 1,000th post 10 years ago talking about Sigur Ros I'd laugh at you, but here we are.
Happy Collecting
