this be my list! ok rationale:
Aimee Mann - concept albums automatically score points.

Augustana - in a just world, you'd be listening to this not Maroon 5.

Black Lab - ditto. Modern rock radio you're not embarrassed to love.

Bloc Party - breaking or braking? Gotta love major label indie bands.

Broken Social Scene - mad Canadians making noise with anything they can lay their hands on. Classy!

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - their name says it all. Dance brothers and sisters!

Death Cab For Cutie - Need I say more? The default soundtrack of our generation.

Gratitude - The frontman practically invented emo, then turned his back on it. Wisely.

Shout Out Louds - Swedish pop will make you happy.

Trivium - 19 year old boys writing the best heavy metal album since, well, only "Master of Puppets".
