Tool are good if you're in the mood, otherwise they can get pretty bland, I feel like the chorus of Lateralus typifies their sound for me.
Killers are no indie, they're just like... poprock, mabye slightly alternative because of their heavy use of synths. I liked their first album but the second one (Sams Town mabye? don't know) did nothing for me.
I don't get classic rock or Franz Ferdinand either.

http://www.divshare.com/download/3452341-19f for Fax Smile. It must have a weird codec or something, so it didn't work in my WMP, but if you've got VLC media player or anything else it should work. If you're into it I'd suggest these bands:
Movus
Followed By Ghosts
Don't Mess with Texas
