Arctic Monkeys
Brendan Benson
The Black Keys
Broken Bells
Cage the Elephant
Franz Ferdinand
The Fratellis
The Good, the Bad, and the Queen
The Heavy
The Hold Steady
Interpol
The Mars Volta
Portishead
Portugal. The Man
Queens of the Stone Age
The Strokes
Jack White
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

You can assume that I'm familiar with an artist's former associations (e.g. Blur, The White Stripes). Any recommendations, preferably artists who are active today?
Have you thought about stepping into genres that are alien to you? You will end up finding a ton of new music. Well music that is new to you anyways.

Spotify and Lastfm are good for finding recs close to similar artists. You could try going through the history of different genres. Check out the education of threads that we have around.
