Windowpane is a great song but it reminds me of Rush (they used the chord on The Fountain of Lamneth).

Ya they do use a Capo on that song, 2nd fret, but it's still the same basic idea.  The same chord structure is also used in the beginning of The Drapery Falls (just with C as the root), and I'm sure a bunch of other songs too.

Back on topic, I also enjoy any chord with the augmented 4th in it

...Ok maybe I don't, but it can be used well.  I like a lot of chords used by modern composers, although I don't normally understand what they are.  Odd chords sound good.

the Petrushka chord is my favorite

I absolutely love using that chord, though I haven't used it in any songs because my friend says it sounds too much like Windowpane to use and I think in Windowpane that chord is up a whole step, not totally sure though

I drop the low E down to D and play this:

I love jazzy chords, I'm all about minor 7ths they are so versatile and sound so good if used right, dominant 9ths and minor 6ths too, just any of those jazz chords that you bar off with your 3rd finger on a guitar,

new cool chords I have:
Bbmaj7#11,fmaj7#11, D79,G#maj7,Bb,Eb7.

E flat, I use that a lot when I'm improvising.

C Flattened 9th Augmented 11th

C E G Bb Db  F#  although I typically play it without the third.

D add9

For me (at least right now) some favorites are:

E7b9 (aka that evil Beatles chord)
B9aug11
Bm6add9 / F# (as a passing chord in a song I'm working on)
Cb9#11

Yes, I am a keyboard player.
