I don't like him either. I was at a festival this summer when he was headlining and left before he went on...royally pissed because all the other acts had to cut their sets short so he could play his in its entirety. Cunt.

I've heard their s/t, and was very underwhelmed I can see how people COULD like it, but not my thing.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig
The Mars Volta - Bedlam in Goliath
The Herd - Summerland
Electric President - Electric President

Can't really think of a fifth, I haven't picked up too much music released in 2008, shame on me.

I liked, let's see:

Gnarls Barkley - the odd couple

Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - Kitty, Daisy & Lewis (you should check that out! some great swing, blues, country stuff! It makes you move your ass and feet, no doubt!)

The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely (though I'm not sure about the whole album, will have to listen to it more often.. but have you heard "Carolina Drama"? great story telling song)

N.E.R.D. - seeing sounds (not as good as the first record, rather similar to the second, but much better!)

Erykah Badu - new amerykah

I was so dissapointed by the odd couple, because St. Elsewhere was so good.

+I've seen them life this year, so I had to get to know the newer songs.

You might just give it another try!

Tracks like Going On and Would Be Killer did impress me, but not as much as "Who Cares" "Just A Thought" and "Transformer".

Danger Mouse is a great producer! I also love Demon Days, produced by him.
