Good rock/alt rock bands?

I really love the Cold War Kids. They're very original and just some very amazing musicians. To give you an idea of what I listen to, my favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, whatever the heck Jack White does, and of course Cold War Kids.

Songs to check out from Cold War Kids:

We Used to Vacation (This song bridge the gap between Classic Rock and Indie for me)
