The first band I’d have to recommend who aren’t on your list is Arcade Fire. I’m sure you’ve heard of them, and you may already listen to them, but if not, you should definitely check out their two albums, “Funeral” and “Neon Bible”. Here are some of the highlights;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyp34v6Lm…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEKC5pyOK…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJDsm1Y4k…
Then there’s;
The Animal Collectivehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6KPDWNAP…
Josh Ritterhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqLssKusG…
Clap Your Hands Say Yeahhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvw2cf0DJ…
The Immediatehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlcM-a1_n…
The Polyphonic Spreehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATtRe8q4t…
Final Fantasyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pQl7kye_…
Edit:
I just realised, Of Montreal isn’t on your list. If you don’t already know them, the album they released this year, “Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer” is a good starting point.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-T-5LJ9K…

Every band I love that’s not already on Your list
(Cause 90% of them are)
Zebra
An absolutely unique sounding quasi metal early 80′s band
Their singer/guitarist Randy Jackson has a gorgeous voice and is a shredding guitar player, they are also one of the few bands with a full choir sound to most of their songs.
They are very melodic yet heavy.
They are on YouTube and Limewire
Just look up the songs
“Who’s Behind The Door” and “Bears”
The Jayhawks
In my opinion, the very best of the 90′s alt-country bands
Their alnum “Hollywood Town Hall”
Is one of the very best albums of the 90′s I would heartily recommend the entire album to You.
Praying Mantis
The best band (Besides Maiden or Priest) to come out of the NWOBHM, and horribly overlooked.
Their guitarist is one of the best at delivering an avalance of melodic notes I have ever heard. their singer is top notch.
And they write excellent songs
I recommend their album
“Time Tells No Lies”
The Four Horsemen
Their 1990 album “Nobody Said It Was Easy” is one of THE BEST hard rock albums I have ever heard.
But they totally slipped through the cracks because Rick Rubin wasn’t interested in developing them
Their song (last track on the album)
“I Need A Thrill/Something Good”
Is absolutely one of the best hard rock guitar anthems ever recorded, I would stack it right up against Freebird of The Song Remains The Same…It’s THAT good
I would recommend all these bands for You to check out
