Though I wouldn't put them on the list as greatest, Mike Ness/Arcade Fire/Radiohead are certainly worthy of mention.
Townes van Zandt does an AMAZING cover of "Dead Flowers." it comes out at the end of The Big Lebowski.

and i was actually thinking of mike ness. i enjoy the simplicity of a lot of social d's lyrics (haven't heard his other stuff, though). very simple rhyming schemes but the words are deep and can be felt by many a soul. something johnny cash was brilliant at.
if you've never heard of richard buckner check out his song "ariel ramirez."
atmosphere (underground hip hop; actually, there's a lot of talent in this genre)
david king (flogging molly)
janis joplin anyone?
brad nowell (sublime)
jim james (my morning jacket)
chris carrabba (dashboard confessional)
a couple of "younger" bands in there but that shouldn't be a reason to dismiss
