I don't hate the Strokes, but I don't think they're so wonderful, either (rather mediocre if you ask me). Maybe they'll impress me if Julian Casablankandkndaswhatshisname learns how to not sing like an aimless drunk and the band start to think up melodies that don't all sound simliar (Oasis, anyone?). For now, though: thumbs down, I'm afraid.
Relating to the original question, ehh... most bands you can name are better than The Strokes, except - for example - rap, Limp Bizkit, the god-awful Stereophonics and any of that garage-dance "music".
Yes, I'm closed minded. ;]
