The only indie band I've really grown to like is Interpol. The Killers have a few catchy hits, but I really like Interpol. They have a Depeche Mode like sound.

Not sure if The Killers even count as indie anymore, but yeah they've got a few catchy tunes.
Here's some of my favorite "indie" bands, no real order: Los Campesinos! Yeasayer Thao and the Get Down Stay Down Battles The Thermals St. Vincent The Knife Sleater-Kinney Giant Panda The Magnetic Fields Tobacco/Black Moth Super Rainbow

Foals. They've just released - what I consider to be - the album of the year so far.
Practically listen to all the bands mentioned in here, though. I'm a bit annoyed at the whole "indie" genre/tag, though, as it seems to encompass every single rock subgenre (as well as a bunch of other ones) and has absolutely nothing to do with "independent" anymore.
(indeed, a lot of the bands mentioned above have never been independent)

I agree with Broken Bells, Arcade Fire and Editors. Here are some more I love: The Boxer Rebellion White Lies Vib Gyor Spoon The XX Manchester Orchestra Silversun Pickups Grizzly Bear Glasvegas The National
I can't believe no one has mentioned The Strokes or The White Stripes. Yeah they're a bit more famous than other indie bands but they're definitely not mainstream or anything. Some other ones that I like are... Spoon Sleater-Kinney Arcade Fire The Smiths The Replacements Husker Du The Sonic Youth Queens of The Stone Age Joy Division/New Order PJ Harvey Pixies Interpol Modest Mouse Bloc Party Arctic Monkeys TV on The Radio Tom Waits Wolf Parade Of Montreal Broken Social Scene Belle and Sebastian Talking Heads Flaming Lips My Bloody Valentine The New Pornographers The National Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah
If you could consider The Killers indie for their indie sound then couldn't you also consider Beck or Radiohead for theirs?

I don't consider anything by jack white Indie. The dead weather or ratuncors maybe but the white stripes aren't indie.
WAT!

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
