    Ryan Adams' output has been disgustingly good. Nobody should be able to put out that much GOOD material.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Jack White by far in my book.

    I tried to listen to Arcade Fire because everyone on here says they're great but I have to disagree, one listen to Funeral and I doubt I will ever listen to them again.

    When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought, "Radiohead."

    Then I stopped to think for a minute. Was I forgetting a newer artist? Hmm...nope.... But Radiohead was also relevant in the 90s: Many years ago, they were decrying the Bankster-controlled facade of duopolies ('Electioneering and the IMF') which in 2009 have left Americans poorer than we've been since the Great Depression.... Yet the band simply got better this decade! They ARE more of a noughties band than a nineties band.

    I had the tremendous pleasure of experiencing one Radiohead concert, in 2003: "Creep" was playing as I walked into the venue. The show ended with "Idioteque" as I pogoed up and down to the very favourite of my several favourite RH songs.

    Radiohead.
    "May you live in interesting times."

    Travis you are right on the money. I too got to see them live once. In 2006. Took the train from Eugene all the way to San Diego. The train was delayed 17 hours going to, and 15 hours coming back. At one point I though I wasnt going to arrive in San Diego in time.

    Anyways the concert was one of the most memorable. One aspect thats memorable is how short the set was, by 10 or 1030 they were done. Obviously I wished they had played more, but they did of course played a full set.

    The venue was the Embarcadero overlooking the bay, an outside venue. Backdrop in the bay and the lit up hotels and buildings that make up downtown San Diego. I remember specifically, the wind blowing through my hair, Radiohead playing, and the amazing scenery and thinking how beautiful it all was.

    Two personal favorites of the decade: The National and Spoon.
