Is this entire thread still addressed to Nix? I have a feeling his ipod ought to be filled up by now. 
Anyway, wanted to comment that I didn't like Paramore so much precisely because they sound too generic, something like the sound you'd get from squishing Avril Lavigne and Fall Out Boy. I prefer to think of them as one of those bands that I like now, but will forget about in a week. They're not bad to listen to though.
A few indie album recs:
Wilco - A Ghost Is Born
Burial - Untrue
Robert Plant/Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
Dirty Projectors - Rise Above
PJ Harvey - White Chalk
notes: Burial is a dubstep musician. Dubstep is electronic dance music distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass.
Robert Plant is the lead vocalist of Led Zeppelin. Alison Krauss is one of the most famous bluegrass/country singers in the world.
The others are what I'd call experimental rock. All of them are indie releases, except for the PJ Harvey album, so I can't exactly recommend singles. I can upload them too if anyone's interested.
