The New Guns N' Roses are the only great band to come out this decade. I know they haven't put out an album yet but they're still better than all these boring indie and retro rock bands out today. I'd rather listen to the demos and live versions of songs from "Chinese Democracy" than listen to all the boring indie and retro rock that's come out this decade.
They are only unheard of by people who aren't paying attention. If you are referring to mainstream music. . .to bands selling millions of albums. . .that isn't going to happen anymore. The entire music industry has changed. The Shins' and Arcade Fire's latest albums both debuted at number 2 on the Billboard chart. Modest Mouse's new album will do the same. But in today's music world, that means selling 100,000 copies. If you really love music, you go searching for the good stuff. Many, many people on this board have participated in that search and have been rewarded. I would suggest you do the same rather than waiting for mass media to feed it to you.

and you will know us by the trail of the dead (do they count? 1998)
queens of the stone age (again 1998?)
those may be my favorites as you can see some of them got late 90's starts but did most of their work in the 00's.
edit: I was the first to mention Mastodon i think. SHAMMMEEEE ONN the rest of you

"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."
The New Guns N' Roses are the only great band to come out this decade.
Wow, I almost spit cheerios all over the keyboard when I read this. Thanks for the laugh. I needed that!

I know Sigur Ros have technically been around since 1994, but they're very much a band of this decade.
Agreed.
Sigur Ros. I've got 1 and I've ran out of ideas. I need to hear Arcade Fire, haven't yet.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
Biffy Clyro ... easily the best new band making music today, even if they're not that new anymore.

.....that's pretty much it. and even a couple of those I'm sure released records before 2000. When I think about it, all my favourite records generally come from the early to mid 90s

Wow. To me they sound nothing like U2. When has U2 ever used instruments outside of the rock standards? Arcade Fire uses accordions, violins, organs, bizarre percussion instruments, and some instruments that I have never heard of before. Also, in Arcade Fire, just about everyone sings in order to create their very unique uplifting feel. I have never heard that from U2. But more than anything, there is a sense of importance and urgency about Arcade Fire's music that hasn't existed in U2's music for a long, long time.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

Are you from Georgia? i did not know many folks new of them.
I love high on fire
I like isis a lot too
converge is okay i'm not as geeked up about them as i am the others on your list.
mastodon as i mentioned already is awesome!
no, from austin, tx actually.
i saw baroness at SXSW 2006. they were awesome! IMO their first 6 songs are some of the best material for debuting a career. of course TEN, may be unbeatable
but yea, i probably shouldn't have put converge since they formed in 1994 i think.
The best "new" bands making great music now are...
The Drive-By Truckers
My Morning Jacket
Modest Mouse
Wilco
....that's about it. Music is really quite shitty these days. All those other "indie" bands or whatever they are called, have good songs but don't make great albums.
Music isn't what it once was. Shaping up to be the worst decade for music since the 80's. (I know that will offend some people)
There is so much great music from the past, it's a waste of money to worry about the new and far less relevant music scene going on right now. And that's a fact.

That is not fact. That is opinion. You aren't connecting to the new music, for whatever reason. I strongly connect to a lot of it, just as I have strongly connected to music from the 1920s on. There are some absolutely incredible albums being made. In fact, in many ways, the stuff coming out now is superior to the music that dominated the 90s. There are bands that instead of being derivative are seeking out new ground. And they are doing so in brilliant fashion. In many ways, this is becoming my favorite decade of music. When I hear people say that nothing is relevant anymore and that they prefer just to stick with older music, it reminds of something my parents might say. I hope to never get stuck like that. I guess I'd rather not become stagnant in that way, would rather continue to grow and keep an open mind. Take a look at the thread I started about the best albums from 2000-2007. People have listed a huge number of standout albums, and many of them are listed numerous times.

The album is a lost art. People don't make good albums anymore.
I'll spend my money on digging deeper into the abundant amount of existing great music and you can buy the new albums that these unoriginal bands release. That is if you actually still buy the music. Seems to me these days everyone is illegally downloading their stuff. Don't even get the liner notes and actual disc. I don't like where music is going.

I always support the artists I love by buying their albums rather than downloading them. I realize I am in the minority here. The album is far from a lost art. Already this year, their have been three albums released that are stellar from beginning to end: Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, The Shins' Wincing the Night Away, and Modest Mouse's We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. I find it funny you call the bands unoriginal. To me, they are far more original than anything rock has seen for quite some time. That's why I am so drawn to them. They are not derivative. They are innovative. It's hard to be innovative in a genre that has been covered so thoroughly already.

I'm liking a lot of new rock, but don't know many of the names of the bands. I like the new/emo rock. And I like that I'm not to old to like it rock and roll will never die. and pop music in gereral is good, its different for sure.
I listen to BOB FM, the variety pop station at work. its great and shows that all decades have great music. I will say that the 80s are the obviously the worst overall IMO, and I think this decade resembles that one but is much, much better.

The 1980's was fucking killer compared to this decade.
You had Appetite For Destruction, Joshua Tree, Ride The Lightning, Blizzard of Oz, Purple Rain, Back In Black,
1984, Born in The USA, and Thriller. All those albums I just listed kick the shit out of any albums that've come out this decade.
