IMHO, Radiohead is overrated, and a little bit old for the OP's question.
Good suggestions here, though; I teach 6th grade and they seem to be talking about most of these bands this year. Ironically, though, there is a lot of "my" music on their I-Pods (the previously mentioned OP's bands, and then some). Other artists are also re-packaging old late 80's early 90's goth/punk or it's being used in commercials (sob!).
I also have to add, off-topic, that this is my 1000th post, and I have been here for 8 years. Finally.
