I for one can't stand the Zepplin-esqueness of Wolfmother, if only because it's just so...forced :/

I'll second Brian Jonestown Massacre and throw in The Dandy Warhols for good measure.

Since you mentioned IME, there were alot of good Canadian bands doing the 'alternative' thing around that time too, like Limblifter/Age Of Electric (essentially the same band), Sloan, and Treble Charger before they started to suck
