Band of the Millenium (so far)

It's a simple question, what band, in your opinion, is the greatest of the new millenium. Try to limit it to bands that formed or released their debut album after 1999.

For me, there's no doubt about it, it has to be Mastodon, no other band comes close.

Nickelback.B05T0N

Honestly, when people look back at this time in many years, they will see Nickelback in the light that we see bands like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin now, which is pretty sad.

The Mars Volta without a doubt. Nobody can compare. Omar Alfredo Rodriguez-Lopez is a creative uber-genius.Merkaba-

They make great music, but doing a concept album about a oiji board kinda puts me off. They're still probably my favorite so far though.

I think The Mars Volta is a little overrated. They are very good, of course, but like you said, sometimes they get so experimental that their songs become un-listenable.

probably gojira.

editted out opeth after rereading the OP. i thought it was based on work after 99.

probably gojira or opeth.LoG-Sacrament

To be perfectly honest....none stand out as yet.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]probably gojira or opeth.-Sniper99-

mostly death, with a few thrash and groove influences thrown in.

Yeah, but I think they're getting a little better about that. Their new CD has a pretty stupid concept behind it, but they took out a lot of the spacey-quiet stretches that cluttered their older CDs. I think if they keep in this direction they could become one of the best bands out there.

Silversun Pickups had a great debut. Another one of favorites but they are too up and coming to call band of the millenium.

How is it stupid?

It's the perfect sequel to Amputechture. Amputechture is about seperating shamanic religions from their stereotypical view that the western world holds of them.

Bedlam is taking the idea a step further and showing the true power of divination and spirit-seeking.

The Bedlam In Goliath is probably one of my favorite of their albums, next to Deloused In Comatorium. They need to find their style though and stick to it.

Also, I just like to say, that though I said Arcade Fire was my band of the milenium, I might also put Shout Out Louds before them. Though, they had only released 2 albums. However, they are a spectacular band and have a huge amount of potential. Anyone who is familiar with them gets a cookie.

The Mars Volta

Easily.

I am loving all of this The Mars Volta love! Anybody else heard The Dear Hunter?Mutatedbloodelf

Yes omg they're amazing. I lost their CD last summer and you just reminded me to get it again!

Government Warning or Do Make Say Think

Wintersun

/thread.

Riverside

Very underrated band IMO.
