The National does that mainstream kind of "alternative" very well, but it's offset by Matt Berninger's voice and lyrics.
Coldplay also is part of that crooning white boy sound that was especially popular in England. The Smiths and Jeff Buckley (even though he's American) were two who were famous for popularizing that kind of thing. And Radiohead, of course, is a famously Smiths-and-Buckley influenced band. And Muse, I guess.
I could recommend several bands if you were just looking to get into alternative/indie rock in general. Interpol, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Pavement, Built to Spill, Spoon, The Strokes, REM, etc. are good starting points.
