    Neutral Milk Hotel are really good; they're among the originators of indie rock.

    Also, how could I forget, and I can't believe nobody has mentioned, Arcade Fire!

    One of the best albums of all time: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco.

    And while it may be stretching the boundaries of the "indie rock" genre, I also really like MGMT and Santigold.

    Edit: Also, Modest Mouse is pretty good. And, as others have said, Death Cab, the Shins, the Decemberists, and Radiohead are all great.

    Edit Edit: And Regina Spektor.

    Edit Edit Edit: And Sufjan Stevens.
