I don't think rock n' roll is dead,IMO music in general was always at it's finest (at least in the past 60-70 years) but it just gets harder and harder to get to the good stuff...but it's there and in abundance.Let me try:
The White Stripes (I know it has been said to dead)
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster (a must listen,especially their album from last year,too bad they disbanded)
Arctic Monkeys
The Answer
Wolfmother
Volbeat
Gallows (more hardcore punk but worth a listen)
Kasabian
The Hives
White Lies-To Lose My Life (the second album sucks IMO but the first one was brilliant)
Them Crooked Vultures
Muse

And the list goes on and on.

I agree with you on The Hives.

Also, IMO, they are also better than The Strokes.

Yeah,The Hives are much better than The Strokes.The only good album The Strokes made was Is This It,the rest just had some good songs."Angles" is dreadful,it gets worse every time I hear it and it's one of the albums I don't want to listen to any time soon.
Julian Casablancas on the other hand is amazing,his debut was one of my favorite albums of 2009.

Glad to see this old post revived with a lot of new suggestions. The Hives I've seen live a couple of times (over in their, and my, native Sweden).

Also, returning to this post I notice that some of the original suggestions were great. Most notably Muse who I hadn't listened to at all but who now hold the #43 spot on my band ranking.

I revived it after it just sat there for a year and a half 😁

Definitely check out these "new" supergroups:

Chickenfoot - Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Joe Satriani, and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

Them Crooked Vultures - John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters & Nirvana), John Homme (Queens of the Stone Age & Kyuss).

Man Raze - Phil Collen (Def Leppard, Girl), Simon Laffy (Girl), and Paul Cook (Sex Pistols)

Most of all, check out...

Black Country Communion - Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Trapeeze), Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham (Bonham, UFO, Foreigner), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater).

Them Crooked Vultures got my curiosity going. A band composed of multiple instrumentalists with talent to burn. 😁

I'm just into this right now :

Witch by Witch. I think you'll like this, it's on the hard rock side of rock, very good. I only picked it up because I wanted to listen to J. Mascis' "other" band (other than Dinosaur Jr that is), it isn't like Dinosaur Jr at all, but it's quite good to me, and I guess you're more into this type of music than I am. A nice discovery.

Here is "Seer", the first title, Sabbathian I think (well, you know, "Witch"...)

I just read your original post. If you don't already know about them, I'm pretty sure you'd love the Drive-by Truckers. They're basically the modern equivalent of Lynyrd Skynyrd, only with better lyrics. The first two Whiskeytown albums are right up your alley too. Also, Uncle Tupelo is a group you should check out (Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Jay Farrar of Son Volt's old band).

What about the Replacements?

Nice to see The Hives getting some recognition here. They seem to cast aside as not being very good. (Atleast from what I have heard people say about them). I think they would be right up Bork's alley. If he even comes here anymore 🙁

Oh and The Hives > The Strokes 8)

I guess they found all the bodies in his back yard 🤔

I'm mainly a fan of the same kind of older stuff you're into, here are some (slightly) more modern albums you may enjoy
Grizzly Bear- Veckatimest
Boo Radleys- Giant Steps
Brian Jonestown Massacre- Tepid Peppermint Wonderland
Converge- Axe to Fall
Flaming Lips- Embryonic (very different from most of their previous stuff, not sugary and poppy at all)
Grinderman- Grinderman
Yo La Tengo- I am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Black Lips- Let it Bloom
