Admittedly very pop-oriented, but mostly quality. Dido is great!

I like the inclusion of Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire on this list. The other stuff like Coldplay, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and Florence + The Machine is a nice touch. Not a huge fan of the popular music scene nowadays, but above average.

This site needs more quality pop... but Avril Lavinge sucks.

It's not perfect (NEEDS MORE VANESSA CARLTON!!!!!!), but definitely a great break from all the crappy indie rock charts.
