Concrete Blonde - Walking In London

So underappreciated that they don't even rate a big album cover image on Amazon...

Warpaint - The Fool (2010)

An all female band. One of my favorite albums of 2010.

Samples

Placebo - Meds

If you think you can start a squabble among music fans by bringing up Muse, try mentioning these guys...
Great cover of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill tacked on to the end on this album which will haunt you after hearing it.

I like them quite a bit. I only have "Without You I'm Nothing", but it's a very enjoyable album. I'll have to check that one out.

Hey Pup! Meds, Without You I'm Nothing, and Black Market Music are probably the best of the bunch. They also did a covers album which has some interesting stuff on it - the aforementioned Kate Bush track, the Pixies' Where Is My Mind, Robert Palmer's Johnny And Mary, Marc Bolan's 20th Century Boy and others. I think they`re one of those bands like The Manic Street Preachers where if the lead vocalist's voice touches something in you, you're hooked for life...A tolerance for the raw degeneracy of the lyrics probably wouldn't hurt either - I think the libertine image this band portrays doesn't sit well with some ( not unlike how some people just can't handle Prince).

Well, I like every band you mentioned, and post many of them quite regularly, so I'll definitely keep those on my radar. I'm a huge fan of the Manic Street Preachers. Pretty sure I have everything they've done. I like a lot of music that "generic" listeners don't listen to, and never let their opinions obscure my own. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm sure they'll all end up in my Amazon wish list by the end of the night
