    Nine inch Nails is really good. Saw them at Lollapalooza for the first time.

    The National is also pretty good.

    I love The National, but not live...saw them at the BAM in Brooklyn last winter and was a little dissapointed. His vocals aren't strong enough to carry a show, IMO.

    no ones mentioned sigur ros yet... probably the best show of this year for me... and thats a year that included seeing nearly all the aforementioned in this thread... i think NIN and radiohead have kindof backed themselves into a corner when it comes to seeing them multiple times on the tour because of their extravagent light shows... of course its cool, but i feel neither mixed up their sets as much as usual and thats probably the main reason... its more like a vegas strip show thats perfected and repeated... saw em both twice and was disappointed the second times

    oh... does it offend you yeah? puts on a great live show... obviously wilco... umm

    who else? drawing a blank...

    to the OP's point... these are all pretty obvious choices gang! wheres the new shit??

    There are literally hundreds of great bands worth seeing...it's just they are not all touring now. Been waiting over a year to see Interpol again :/!!!! Sigur Ros was great live by the way :)

    The band to see in 09' if you haven't already is Mastodon. Their new album "Crack the Skye" is easily the album I'm most eager to get my hands on this year and I'm hoping they'll do a show (or two ;-) in my area cause I'd love to see them again soon. They're great live.
    The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course

    MMJ a year or two ago was amazing. They played a lot off of "Z". I saw them recently on a 3 hour show... for me not as good, but I'm a casual fan. But man, that show years ago was breathtaking.

    I cannot wait to see The Strokes again.

    Ben Kweller was also a really cool and energetic rock show, but I think the new tour is supposed to be a country one, so I'll probably skip that.

    Regina Spektor was awesome! Check out youtube of her at Lollapalooza.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)
