    "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."

    -Tom Waits

    active bands eh? i'll give it a shot:

    bands that are active and making very exciting new music:
    hold steady
    brand new
    silverchair
    the roots
    lupe fiasco
    kanye west
    wilco
    bright eyes
    kings of leon
    silversun pickups
    decemberists

    bands still active whose new albums i love but are more fond legends than really producing anything new:
    black crowes
    pearl jam
    oasis
    tragically hip

    they're not in any particular order though.

    uncle tupelo
    chesterfield kings
    frank black
    radiohead
    buffalo tom
    regina spektor
    the band
