    Hmm, no love for The Gaslight Anthem. One of the best live shows I've seen, for a pretty young band.

    I wonder if some interpreted the question differnet then i did.

    I saw it as who are the best 5 bands now. As in who is consistantly making the best music right now.

    Not who are your favorite bands that just so hapen to be putting out albums even if they are mediocre.

    1 -- THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
    2 -- PEARL JAM
    3, 4 or 5 (non order) -- MARK LANEGAN, CHRIS CORNELL, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

    i see no one has included the Smashing Pumpkins, don't forget them!!!

    I think no one mentioned Smashing Pumpkins because the topic said best bands TODAY ;) :P


    i think The Smashing Pumpkins continues rocking today, i'm loyal to Corgan and if he says the band's name is still the same, it's still the same!! :lol::lol:

    but i recognize you that the old band was way better than this one :D

    Absolute bloody bullshit. Obviously you havent listened to Muse if you think their music sounds the same. I dont care if you dont like them but to say that makes me think you've hardly heard any of their stuff. If you want to hear a band whose music sounds the same go listen to AC/DC.

    Drive-By Truckers
    The National
    Foo Fighters
    Headstones
    Sam Roberts Band

    "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
