My iPod hasn't had anything new for a long time one it. I've picked up a few albums but they were all disappointments.
So I'm going ask for a recommendation from across the pond.

Give me a few of the best Alternative bands in the UK to try out please and thank you.
P.S. I hate dance music with a passion.
I love Vampire Weekend...and Neon Neon.
No idea if they are UK based!
Thanks Ellie I'm checking them out on Youtube right now.
Check out the Future Heads!! Hounds of Love and The Twist are top tracks!
Yep Futureheads are great.
Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip for a bit of weird hip hop.
The Pipettes for some girl band stuff.

I am in love with this girl. If I was a lesbian, I'd take her home and keep her in a cupboard, like all good lesbians would.
I love her too! She's SO wonderful.

Oh you need to find the cover of A Picture of Dorian Gray by The Futureheads-it's really good.

Try Slalem's Widget, The Light Bulbs, or Pigs on Skis, I heartily recommend these.
James Yuill (he's on myspace,) fooking great!
If you're looking for a really good album, that you can sit and listen to, from beginning to end, without feeling the need to press fast-foward, I recommend an obscure album, from 1992, called 'Tricks of the Shade', by a group called The Goats. The group had 3 main members, two of which were Native American, the other black. 'Tricks...' is a comical, but also very political concept album, which is filled with great lyrics (the album comes with a lyric sheet, so they can be fully appreciated), and many great little interludes, in which the group-members get to show off pretty good acting skills. Being from 1992, there are one or two references that may now go over a young person's head, e.g. lyrics about people like Manuel Noriega, who were in the news a lot, back in the early '90s, but you can always go to Wikipedia, if you want to find out what they're on about. Oh, and of course, when they refer to "Bush", they mean the original one, not his son.
Here's one of their videos, which I saw played on MTV, back in '92 one solitary time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OslVwbS4fzc&feature=related

No, they massacred that! Plus the imagery of the song doesn't work too well with a man singing it.
