<p>The live version of Wolf Like Me is amazing as well! I don't even remember where I found it... but it never fails to get me dancing. Ha. Ha. Ha.</p>
<p>The song itself is amazing, but when you stop dancing and listen to the lyrics....! They're just brilliant!!!</p>
<p>We've all been gushing so much about Wolf Like Me that the OP would have to be insane not to check it out (hint, hint!!!) =)</p>
<p>I just began watching Arcade Fire videos on youtube...incredible stuff. I'm really starting to like indie rock bands.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.</p>
<p>I'd like to take this opportunity to promote the Armchair Cynics...awesome band from Victoria, BC...not really all that well known yet, but GREAT music. You can listen to some of their stuff here:</p>
<p>...and can find their complete second album on iTunes...I'm having to order the first one from their record company up there. They're one of the rare bands that I actually like every song from.</p>
<p>Other favorites:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Our Lady Peace
Three Days Grace
Incubus
Green Day (older stuff is best, but new is alright)

<p>uhm, here's some of the stuff i personally like, a few have already been mentioned, but other than that, i'd give it a shot!</p>
<ul>
<li>Motion City Soundrack</li>
<li>Muse</li>
<li>CYHSY! (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!... and i agree, if you can get past his voice)</li>
<li>McFLY</li>
<li>Staind</li>
<li>Egypt Central</li>
<li>The Prom Kings</li>
<li>3 Doors Down</li>
<li>+44</li>
<li>Secondhand Serenade</li>
<li>Edwin McCain</li>
<li>Cobra Starship</li>
<li>Goo Goo Dolls</li>
<li>Oasis</li>
</ul>
<p>Bands I'd suggest checking out (some of them have already been mentioned, but I suppose there's no harm in mentioning them again):</p>
<ul>
<li>Belle and Sebastian (they sound like they came straight out of the '60s.)</li>
<li>The Decemberists</li>
<li>Of Montreal</li>
<li>Travis</li>
<li>Arcade Fire</li>
<li>Radiohead</li>
<li>Arctic Monkeys</li>
<li>Cat Power (one woman - you might not like her, but I thought I'd throw it out there. You might as well check her out if you've got some time. She's done a few interesting covers -- VU's "I Found a Reason," Bowie's "Wild is the Wind," and the Stones' "Satisfaction" to name just few. Her original stuff grows on you.)</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay, so almost all of these have been mentioned before. What can I say -- CC'ers have good taste!</p>
