Current?, tough one, possible queens of the stone age but I love Kings of Leon.
All time? Zeppelin, Floyd, Hendrix.
I love Kings of Leon as well. Excellent live act. I wear my Kings of Leon t-shirt and people look at me like "What the hell is Kings of Leon?". Nobody I know other than an old co-worker knows of them. My wife and I love them though. Personally my other favorite band besides PJ would be the White Stripes. If you asked my wife, Kings of Leon is her first favorite.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

im torn. there's U2, who will always haev a special place in my heart for certain memories, on top of the fact that i love most of their albums. but then, they've also got some albums im pretty ambivalent towards (pop, october, rattle and hum). at their best though, they give pearl jam a run for the money.
but i guess it would have to be:
OASIS
man do they rock. sure they're nothing special or innovative. but when it comes to in your face attitude and pure ballsy rock and roll, they dont have much competition. plus i like all their albums in their own right.
WOW, you all have really really good taste in music if you ask me...
MUSE, Radiohead, oasis, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, The White Stripes, U2, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Wilco, Tom Petty etc...eh eh and Depeche Mode:) I like/love 'em all
For me, the best band other than Pearl Jam would definitely be Modest Mouse. If you aren't familiar with these guys, you can't go wrong by purchasing The Moon and Antartica. It's one of the best albums I've ever heard. Period.
Other great bands:
The Arcade Fire (although I need to hear more from them)
Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
Radiohead
Muse
I also love PJ Harvey
The clash are the only band close to Pearl Jam for me.
'I wish i came from a country that never went to war, I wish i came from a country that took care of its poor,
Maybe someday that will change, in the place from where we came,
But in the mean time thanks for the example, in the mean time thanks for giving us hope...'

I second that. Although I must say that they are a quite "uncomfortable" band. Their last record is probably the most accessible but the older stuff takes some time to get used to. But once you get into them they're just mind-blowing. So dont give up too easily.

They've been around since 1983, so for more than 20 years.. They've never turned commercial like all other metal bands in the early 90's. They've influenced a lot of bands by their aggressive sound.. They make amazing shows, just like pearl jam... Slayer is huge !!!

That's a tough one, but I'd have to say The White Stripes too.

For anyone interested, you can stream two of their older songs here http://www.epitonic.com/artists/modestmouse.html
Worms Vs. Birds is really great although it takes a while to get used to it
Check out the solo record from their lead singer, Rob Dickinson.

I'll second that, unless someone else already seconded it, then I'll third, and so on and so forth.
