I liked the music of Pink Floyd the most.They really looked like they enjoyed what they were doing. I am going to their upcoming show ... I already had my tickets from http://www.ticketfront.com/event/The_Music_Of_Pink_Floyd-tickets .Anyone going?
Muse/Avenged Sevenfold/My Chemical Romance/Escape The Fate/Hollywood Undead.
That's my 'Top 5,' but there are many others that I adore.

Haha, that even made ME feel old!
These are my favorites in different categories...
Timeless: The Beatles. I saw Paul McCartney this year and it was amazing!
Metal: Pantera and Children of Bodom
Ska: Streetlight Manifesto and Bomb The Music Industry! (BTMI is free on their website)
Rock: Muse (although they're getting boring fast) and Brad Sucks (Also free on his website)
Techno: DJ Tiesto and Basshunter
Punk: Dead Kennedys and Gogol Bordello
Comical: Gunther (Seen him in concert even!) and The Lonely Island
New Wave: Oingo Boingo
80's Rock: AC/DC and The Rolling Stones
Not favorites but other bands I like: Mindless Self Indulgence, Five Iron Frenzy, Less than Jake, Suburban Legends, Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, MU330, Mustard Plug, Nine Inch Nails, The Planet Smashers, Ska-P, The Aquabats, Daft Punk, Guns and Roses... Probably a lot more.
Can you tell I like Ska?
I have JMJ's Equinoxe and Oxygene 7-13; love 'em. Jarre is just as important to the development of electronic music as Kraftwerk is, IMO. I strongly recommend you check out Synergy aka Larry Fast (one of JMJ's contemporaries); Cords and Games are two good Synergy albums, and there is a Synergy best-of compilation on CD if i'm not mistaken.
Yes to Trance! Paul van Dyk, BT, Guardians of the Earth, the list goes on...
A&B-- is that Above and Beyond? If so, I love their treatment of Madonna's "What It Feels Like For A Girl"; their radio edit was used for the music video instead of the album/CD version.
Bloc Party/Daft Punk/Cut Copy/Rebelution/Phoenix/NERD/Pharrell/All Time Low/Cobra Starship/Gaga...
Streetlight Manifesto, Blink-182, Bad Religion, Enter Shikari, The Gaslight Anthem, Senses Fail, Between the buried and me, Protest the Hero are just some of my favorite bands.
I devour music of all types, but the 3 bands I keep coming back to over and over again are Converge, Death, and Neurosis.
Blink-182, Rise Against, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and Angels and Airwaves are some of my favorites.
Erm...
[1] Daft Punk is one of the biggest dance acts of the moment.
[2] Linkin Park is one of the biggest-and-scraped-together-by-a-manager metal bands of the last couple of years.
[3] Lady Gaga is one of the most commercial pop stars of the moment.
[4] Coldplay is both the biggest and the single most overrated stadium soft rock band of the decade.
Are you really calling those bands/acts indie?
I listen to a lot of 80s rock mostly, but my top bands are probably;
Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Metallica, Skidrow, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest and Dio.
I went to a Billy Talent concert with my friends and I have a few of their songs on my iPod now.

I think I've found some hipsters
Seriously though, those are about as far from indie as you can get, with maybe the exception of Phoenix, who I don't know if you can still call indie.
