LOL. With lists like that, how the hell can you be posting in the Alternative/Indie section? With that said, I think those lists stink particularly the UK one. The Kooks, The Kaiser Chiefs? You 'aving a laugh? That's just goddamn insulting to the UK!
Anyway, I don't usually seem to agree with Crowquill on much at all, but that Patrick Wolf is the best thing the UK have to offer alternative music at the moment is pretty much beyond questioning. Of course, the best English band even today is Radiohead by a walk. Franz Ferdinand are also a good band, as are the Long Blondes.
There are way too many excellent alternative bands and artists in North America at the moment to permit the making of a list of five, in my opinion. Though my 5 favourites, in no particular order, would have to be:
TV On The Radio
The Arcade Fire
Deerhoof
The Flaming Lips
Of Montreal
