Well, considering you like Coldplay, I'd suggest checking out Radiohead. They put out one excellent album in OK Computer, and their other work is, on the whole, solid. Check out: OK Computer, The Bends
Incubus recommendation seconded. Their early stuff is some great funk-rock fusion type thing (with some great slap bass lines, ala Flea); later work is more firmly rooted in rock, but the funk elements still crop up from time to time. Albums: SCIENCE, A Crow Left of the Murder
The Pixies are definitely worth checking out, especially if you're into the Pumpkins. Kurt Cobain admitted something to the effect that Nirvana started as a Pixies tribute band, hopefully that should give you soem idea of their importance. Albums: Sufer Rosa, Doolittle
The Smiths should be a good bet for you if you like Muse. Actually, if you like good music in general... . Check out: The Queen Is Dead, The Singles collection
And for pure rockin- tunes, can't go wrong with Thin Lizzy. I feel they just must be mentioned in any rock music thread
