Cannibal Resource/Dirty Projectors

A recent favorite. For me, this song comfortably straddles the thin line between acceptable indie and too indie. The vocals are insane.

Never Enough/Mudvayne

Chad Gray has long been one of my vocal heroes. Also, listen to Ryan Martinie's unique bass licks.

Swept Away/Avett Brothers

I started listening to this band only recently, and it's already among my favorites. Sweet, down-to-earth guitars and multi-part vocal harmonies. I recommend listening to the whole of the album Mignonette.

House Of The Rising Sun/Animals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxYGeTV6fCw
For me, this will always be the quintessential British Invasion song from the '60s. The Animals took an old American folk song and gave it a nastily dark treatment, including a different lyrical interpretation. Valentine's legendary guitar intro, Price's climactic organ parts and Burdon's unique vocals make for a truly compelling listen.
