My list is not that long, but here goes:
Garbage (I hear they have broken up again, however), Radiohead, Muse, Weezer, Travis, Pretenders (I can dream, can't I?), Killers, Pixies, Gorillaz, The Like, any band including either Tim Locke or Zac Maloy, Crowded House (sigh), Neil Finn, Morrissey (this is a fence-sitter for me based on his recent stuff, but now that I'm in with his keyboardist, I have to be up on his new stuff for the next tour)
In past years, I would have included REM, but they burned me pretty good with their last 4 or so albums.
As far as commentary on your list goes, that Yeah Yeah Yeahs album was horrible, though I still like Maps (it is in my head as I type this, in fact). Some of the other bands on your list are quite likeable, but don't fall into the no-questions-asked category for me (e.g., Kaiser Chiefs, The Bravery, Snow Patrol, Interpol).
Top of my list for impossible ones that I wish could put out another album would be Sublime.

Brad Nowell's death was the biggest loss to good music of the past decade. "40 Oz to Freedom" never gets old.
Glad I didn't buy the YYY record. I love "Maps," but had a sneaking suspicion the rest would blow.
My absolute buy list is very small. I'd have to go with the Beastie Boys, Dre (if he ever does anything again), Libertines (what a waste of talent), Metallica (why I have no idea... that last record was beyond awful), Floyd (yes, I bought the useless live Wall record from 79), the Stones, Neil Young, Weezer, Widespread, Dylan, White Stripes, Wilco (although that new live disc is boring... can Tweedy's voice be any flatter?).
I also buy lots of releases of old concerts by the Dead, Allmans, Dylan, etc...
I gave up on Radiohead a few years back. All their stuff started to sound the same.
