As I type, I am listening to one of my favorites, "Badmotorfinger", Soundgarden...  Interlaced with all sorts of Scirocco-esque topics...  'Jesus Christ Pose', which is the pose I make when I work on my car, from underneath...  'Outshined', every car on the road does that to me....  Etc...

I have fairly dark/ecclectic tastes, so chose with caution...  By the way, you can sample a ton of albums on fye.com, there may be others...

Here is a list of some of my favorite groups...
Sponge
Henry Rollins Band
Depeche Mode
Rush
Living Color--  they happen to have an album out, new as of the last year (IIRC)
Prong
NIN--  Working on an album now, due out by no later than next spring (IIRC), Dave Grohl did the drums (WooooHOOOO!)
Killing Joke
Chemical Brothers
Tool 
A Perfect Circle--  I can highly recommend this last album to any woman who likes real rock n roll, and by the choices you listed, it sounds like you do.
Dire Straits
Devo (yes, Devo)
U2
The Toadies  (I love that song "Mexican Hairless", my hairs stand up every time that song starts up...

Well, those are some of my faves...  I will say this, once I find a group I like, I get all their albums (normally).  That is one reason why I just post the names of the groups.  Another reason is that my memory for album/song names sucks!

HTH
