    I'm not really clear on the criteria -- active for the last 25-30 years? Founded in the last 25-30 years? Active some time in the last 25-30? My favorites?

    My God, I am old.

    My favorites, in no real order:

    The Church (est. 1980, I've been a fan for thirty years)
    U2 (they're an 80s -90s band, to me)
    Paul Weller
    Pearl Jam
    REM
    Beastie Boys
    Rage
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I'm willing to sub Green Day in for any of the last 3. Same with Foo Fighters. It's tough to get down to 10.

    Pearl Jam
    Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor
    Radiohead
    Tool
    Metallica
    Death Cab For Cutie
    Coldplay
    Foo Fighters
    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Muse

    Very hard to narrow it down. I'm not a huge fan of RHCP, but they are no doubt a huge band.

    Muse is the same, but are great and have huge success.

    thank you for bringing up Sublime. Totally spaced em'. Not sure how. They would probably be my 11 if not in the 10.

    I just saw Wilco for the first time this weekend. What a great friggin live band. I felt sorry for them and the horrible front row crowd that they played in front of...
