I would say that my fav indie bands would be...
Pinback- Loro, Anti-Hu (incredible), Crutch (again, very nice) and Penelope. A very interesting band worth whatever time it takes you to check them out...
Electric President- really nice band, with interesting lyrics and musical points, with interesting music. Again worth checking out.
Broken Social Scene- VERY cool band, almost everything is good

.
Perhaps one reason for their amazing musical skills is the fact that the size of their band is enormous! Theres over (maybe even way over) 10 people in it (i really just saw a picture, didnt count the faces ;-)
