The Police Im from Barcelona Mr.Hudson and the library Stabilo The Shins The Decemberists Dave Matthews The Futureheads Duran Duran Radiohead- a little Audioslave- a little Coldpay- a little Blakq Audio The Vines M.I.A. Death Cab for Cutie- some The Killers
You've heard of them? I know them. Not well, granted, but it's one of those friend-of-a-friend situations.

They are a British electronic soft rock band. The melodies are bit more tight than say Interpol, they are a bit closer to Coldplay but still plenty of breathing room for the electronics to just glaze over everything.
If you like Kaiser Chiefs, you might like some of the stuff The Vines put out before they crashed.

Hot Hot heat is not so bad either You should check out Men Women and Children. They have that song I like called Dance in my Blood.

Mr. Ozio would be in the Justica/Daftt punk category. Rjd2 is more rap oriented, but they have nice beats as well. What about The Shins?

I'm gonna go ahead and put in my vote for AFI and Blaqk Audio. With AFI, if you don't like one CD, or one song... listen to another one. Their sound changes with every record, and they're starting work on their next album next week.

Anberlin I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business (yes long name, but it's a good sideproject of The Early November. Which reminds me..) ..The Early November The Decemberists Death Cab for Cutie The Postal Service Sufjan Stevens (i adore him) Elliott Smith!
if you like Head Automatica, try out Glassjaw. Same singer, different style.
and.....my absolute favorite band that no one knows about: The Dear Hunter. I think they're a genius indie rock opera band Posts: 349 | Registered: Jul 2006

I've found that 99% of people who like Head Automatica, especially those who like the second album, absolutely despise Glassjaw.

Judging from your list, it already looks like you're used to finding your music vs. music coming to you. Definitely capable of finding similar music through more efficient means than here.
But I have to definitely echo the Spoon recommendation, and the Sufjan Stevens one as well. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are a great band too. Iron and Wine's entire discography is fantastic.
Or I could just ignore your entire list and recommend Nickel Creek.

They're a Christian band. But if that doesn't bother you too much, you might like the band House of Heroes.Posts: 6026 | Registered: Dec 2004

Honestly, based on that list, I think you should just buy every CD that gets a good review on Pitchfork.
(Seriously, though, I don't know how you can have the Fratellis and the Strokes on that list and not have the Killers and the Decemberists. You might also want to consider older bands/songwriters that passed through the sort of sensibility you appear to enjoy at one point along their continuum. Examples would include David Bowie, Tori Amos, Tom Waits, Tom Lehrer, They Might Be Giants, Ani DiFranco, Kate Bush, R.E.M., Radiohead, and possibly even better-quality '80s pop like Tears For Fears and Duran Duran. I'll also put in a plug for the 1900s, a decent band that includes two of my friends from high school.)

I KNOW THIS IS AN OLD THREAD AND THERE'S NO NEED FOR ANYONE ELSE TO RESPOND unless you really want to post. it would be sweet I just went back and looked at this list and realized that I've listened to the music you fellow jatraqueros posted here accidentally because i completely forgot about this thread, and I really really like a lot of those bands, and a little less than two years later here are the bands that were reccomended that I think are awesome.
Snow Patrol STS9 Spoon (they're amazing!) Mr. Ozio Rjd2 Death Cab for Cutie The Postal Service Sufjan Stevens Junior Boys Ladytron Metric (their CD grow up and blow away is superb!) Yeah Yeah Yeahs
A special thanks to TomDavidson to introducing me to pitchfork, I never really tried to find bands before I started this topic, i just kinda stumbled across music that i really liked.
And now a completely unnecessary post of more bands that weren't reccomended, but I like them so much i really want to post them (they're not in the original lists)
Thomas Dutroni Dizzee Rascal The Rifles 100 Resolutions The Cat Empire Digitalism Lenka Duffy Adele Fatboy Slim Moby Richard Ashcroft (I don't like the verve though) Erol Alkan Travis (My Fav band! they're like a combination of Spoon and keane on a couple of their cd's anyway) Cut Copy Calvin Harris Regina Spector Keane New Young Pony club Lily Allen Vampire Weekend The Wombats K'naan Mr Hudson & The Library (they're in the post from 2007 but i'm still obsessed) Immortal Technique Blur Cake Simian Mobile Disco Lucky Soul Chromeo The Teenagers Le Sport Air Just Jack I'm From Barcelona Architecture In Helsinki The Flaming Lips
The list goes on and on but these are the important ones
sorry about this random old topic but I felt the need to make a follow up, just for my own memory. And if anyone does want to know about these bands I'm kind of a music junkie. (well a little bit)

How random! I was looking at your original list and mentally (I'm at work) shouted, "Rooney! I didn't know anyone else had heard of them. I also don't know what they came out with after I got that free little EP disc." Whatever became of them?
There are so many on that list I do know of. Sadly, though, I'm anti-Snow Patrol. Long story.
Here are a few possible additions (keeipng in mind you mentioned your list was not exhaustive): Iron & Wine Beirut ANDREW BIRD!!! (honestly, don't know if he was up there, but I'm such a fan girl) The Annuals Portugal the Man Besnard Lakes DeVotchKa Low The New Pornographers My Brightest Diamond Primitive Radio Gods Grand National Patrick Watson St. Vincent The National Grizzly Bear The Maps The One AM Radio Get Well Soon Fleet Foxes The Shadow Puppets Phantom Planet The Envy Corps The Silver Seas The Snake The Cross The Crown White Rabbits
Also not an exhaustive list. My apologies if there are any repeats.

I just came across an awesome English folk group called Bellowhead. Their percussionist plays a frying pan in some songs. This is awesome.
