For me it is a no-brainer: The White Stripes. I think I like them more every time I listen. All of the albums are phenomenal, but Elephant is the absolute shiznit. Yet I still haven't seen them in concert. Aaaarrgghhh!! Please come play Texas!

    no doubt about it:
    Broken Social Scene & Arcade Fire (both bands are too good to pick one over the other)

    EDIT: and Interpol, Bloc Party, Metric.....this is too hard!!!!
    In my world everyone is a pony,
    and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!

    The White Stripes released their first album in '99.

    Mine would be The Shins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs or The New Pornographers

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I think they are what White Stripes wishes they could be.

    I don't know why, but when I read that I immediatley thought of Jack in Single Video Theory when asked what the band meant to him. Weird

    Anywho, I have to give the honor to Jack Johnson. I just love how laid back this guy is.

    when Jack says, "for me............it's all about the time we have playing the song. It it's a mindless goodtime....."


    i see what you mean (even though you came down on my audioslave thread you bastard!!!!!) my favorite part of Single video theory is when they all punch in with a time card

    around '98, after the demise of Kyuss.

    Belle X1 for me, as I can't think of any other 00-06 bands I like at the moment.
    All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    I can't believe no one's mentioned The Mars Volta yet. They're easily the pick for me, and they get the honour based on their fearlessness alone. Of course, it doesn't hurt that they've released two of the most amazing albums ever (let alone since 2000), with a third on the way that, judging from what I've heard, isn't much of a step back at all.

    TMV are the only band to come out in my lifetime that's been so fiercely original without losing the essence of what makes a band listenable. For that, and many other reasons, they've got my vote.

    and they are bloody unconventional considering how commercially accepted they are. How can what is essentially a jazz-salsa rock fusion band be almost mainstream? Its amazing and somewhat mindboggling. Anyways, Take the veil cerpin taxt off Deloused in the comatorium is amazing.

    THANKYOU!

    I saw this thread and The Mars Volta immediately sprang to mind. Awesome band, and so good live.

    Two absolutely fantastic albums, and another on the way by the sound of it. Can't wait!

    1. The Dears
    2. Arcade Fire
    3. Mars Volta

    If the next Arcade Fire is great, they'll be on top of my list.
