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.
edit: 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 |
Oh sweet, yeah, that's the song. I have heard of post-rock/metal and have enjoyed what I've heard (only thing that comes to mind instantly is Isis) but haven't really gotten into it yet as I have too many other albums in my mind that I need to buy before I delve into yet another genre. I also take huge issues with the name of the genre, but probably won't go into that here.
Edit: Damn, the song was nowhere as intense with volume swell as it was in the movie
Edit again: I thought I would share this little gem with everyone who hasn't played Silent Hill 2:

Although it's probably at it's most powerful after going through all of the emotions of the game, it's still a beautiful piece of music.
Akira Yamaoka is an incredible mood composer, a total asset to the series.
