sorry, i don't know if the list helps, but if you listen to bands on the list and you think are some others please leave a suggestion.
i'm just tired of listening to the same stuff over and over again.

The Gaslight Anthem is a safe bet, and seeing you like music I'd at least look em up. :P
The Hold Steady is really good, and I find for most people you're better off working your way through their library backwards to ease into his voice (start with Stay Positive). Good rock'n'roll with a literary bent.
Depending on what you like out of these I could give you more recommendations...
Crossfade
Breaking Benjamin
12 Stones
Listen to these and if you like them I have a lot more I can suggest.

"Between Rock and a Hard Place" got a couple good bands on their that I found out about, and my musical taste is similar to your list.
I particularly love the Wombats.
Black Stone Cherry
Theory of a Deadman
The Wombats

Fragile State, Sigur Ros, Royksopp, Ulrich Schnauss and Bonobo are very different, but they all make good 'chillout' music.
I also like some intense/dance music on occasion, so I'll also recommend Pendulum, Way Out West, ATB and High Contrast for some variety.

They are more or less like if a swing/jazz band met an ex lounge singer/rapper who had a horible childhood. Also there is rock in there too. Their newist album "A City Dressed in Dynomite" is simple amazing.
Edit: Most of their stuff is really strange but o so awesome.

I bought that album, absolutely fantastic
a little Ryan Adams can be nice every so often,but other then that, check out the Protomen
www.deezer.com has a smart radio very similar to pandora, and the site itself is awesome.
As for a suggestion, I've been borderline obsessed with Lacuna Coil recently:
They've got so many awesome songs, these are some of my favorites. If I had to pick only one I'd probably go with Heaven's a Lie.
