I think the best music around is:
The Strokes - My favourite band, great music , great guitarists and good vocals. They also have very independant minds which you can see in this interview with yahoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FSbP_AsZg
Kings of leon - best song is rememo which is on there album so I cant give you a link, and Four kicks which can be found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MHNg8D_sHQ
Mars volta - televators is amazing, with great lyrics
Jeff buckley - so sad that he died at such a young age, best songs are forget her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scYenpbyJI0 and Hallelujah which can only be found live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xbY4WzcF_U
The postal service - such a great band with great lyrics. If your a bit down just listen to this song
Death cab - from the guy that did postal service, same style but with less electronica and more acoustic guitars.
We are scientists - Funny and great band. Best song is textbook but thats in there album so ill just post one of there hits live
and a funny interview
Leonard cohen - very depressing but good nonetheless, best song is famous blue raincoat.
Tenacious d - what can I say....... HAHAHA
I hope its ok I put the links up.
