Look into the bands Bloc Party are inspired by.
Specifically, the albums Entertainment by Gang of Four and White Music by XTC
If you like old-school Incubus, check out Mr. Bungle.
" I see you have Radiohead on that list, I would suggest Thom Yorkes solo EP, The Eraser.Excellent album. Also if you like radiohead, John Frusciante's solo stuff is kind of similar. If you looking for a Frusciante album i would go with The Empyrean, excellent CD.
"
If your looking for something more rocking i suggest Fugazi, one of the best bands from the 90s. Since you like The White Stripes, i would reccommend the albums 13 Songs, and Repeater & 3 Songs by fugazi.
I recommend Foo Fighters (obviously), Them Crooked Vultures, and....Incubus. There. I said it. I like Incubus.
I'm going to hide in the closet now.
Edit - I fail. Didn't see you had Incubus listed!!
Well...The Hives are pretty good.
