Best Current Day Band

radiohead and explosions in the sky.

Excellent bands.

I think I prefer the remix... And one of the only problems I have with The Dear Hunter though is some of their lyrical work could use some improvement... Like on Red Hands: "You can't be caught red handed if you aren't red handed." One of the only problems I have with them which is keeping them from my top 5...slorg_king

There is no such thing as the "Best" current day band.brettlotr

Agreed its all based on personal opinion.

Tool is my favorite thats still releasing good albums! I mean I love Metallica and Megadeth as well, but they are just not releasing the quality they had in the late 80's and 90's.ice_radon

I agree, but "United Abominations" was atleast 10x better than "St. Anger". I also think Scar Symmetry, Radiohead, and Muse are excellent.

Because I can't pick just one or two, and because this is basically opinion based, here's some of my favourite bands:

HIM

Machine Head

Coheed & Cambria

CKY

69 Eyes

Nightwish (the new Nightwish CD is awesome)

Trivium

DevilDriver

Children of Bodom

In Flames

Dimmu Borgir

Clutch

Lamb Of God

Negative

Cradle of Filth

The Sounds

36 Crazyfists

Within Temptation

Thrice (although the older Thrice is better, the first disc of the Alchemy Index was great)

Rise Against

Killswitch Engage

Divine Heresy

Dope Stars Inc.

I know it's a (really) big list, but I couldn't bring myself to leave any of them off (plus, I don't know why the spacing between lines is so big either). I know that there are plenty of bands that I haven't heard yet, and there a few I want to check out as well (I've heard really good things about Down, Type O Negative, and Turisas)

THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE

Radiohead gets my vote for consistency and innovation. Great rock bands are getting harder and harder to find.Second_Rook

the black angles are awesome and radiohead is good too

Winger, crashdiet, helloween, and sebastian bach to name a few.
