-Blink-182
-Vampire Weeked
-Damon Albarn (Gorillaz, Blur)
-Daft Punk
-The Shins
-The Strokes
-Radiohead
-Franz Ferdinand
-Death Cab for Cutie
-Modest Mouse
-Metric
-Sigur Ros
And that's only a few.
If anyone could give me a few suggestion, it would be much a appreciated.

a lot of Radiohead fans also like Portishead...
im not a fan of either...
Portishead's "dummy" album is probably their best known one though....!

Welcome aboard MD, Mars! There are so many bands and artists out there now! Try Anathema , Weather Systems album is very good! Glad you like Arcade Fire!!!!! Have you listened to Walk off The Earth band?

And for awhile I have been looking for a group that has incorporated a full-fledged choir intermixed with rock and alternative music, do you know of any groups like that?
i just checked out Walk off the Earth and am enjoying! Thanks!

Yes,
Have a look at:
The Polyphonic Spree - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHJo_klmPcA --- HUGE band and lots of sound, this video is from their first album (the fourth album was released earlier this year)
I'm From Barcelona - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wi1d0FNgdQ --- Swedish group that sing happy songs, lots of voices.
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08WeoqWilRQ --- Crap loads of people singing = lots of fun
Manchester Orchestra - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1H802m6no0 --- They don't always have a choir, but when they do it is amazing.
Enjoy,
