Best Current Rock Band?

Muse

Pearl Jam

Bullet for my Valentine

Eluveitie

Korpiklaani

Rammstein

System of a Down

Linkin Park

And Wintersun. Postmortem123

the only bands that weren't shìt in 2011 (as in, actually current) were Dragonland and Dreamtale.

Off the top of my head;

Black Stone Cherry

Airbourne (got a real heavy AC/DC sound to them)

Chickenfoot

Them Crooked Vultures

The Black Keys

Black Country Communion

The Answer

Slam Cartel

Hollywood Undead ... though idk if they're considered purely rock as they have a lot of hiphop elements

Muse, The Killers, The black keys.

I don't think there will ever really be a hugely influencial band like in the past though.

If we are actually being serious and talking about current rock music then Arcade Fire, Deer Hunter, Radiohead, and Beach House take the cake by a landslide. If I had to pick one, I would say the current best band in the world are the Arcade Fire. Consistently fantastic albums, never set themselves to high nor take themselves too seriously. A bunch of incredible talented musicians.

Good to see OT has a lot of good taste in music.

'll like to add Shinedown and Three Days Grace.

Also, how do we mean current, like they are still active? Or they formed s=more recently then say....JUdas Priest?

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] You're disgustingimaps3fanboy

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="Bardock47"] What great argument on why these bands aren't considered good. I applaud your debating skills good sir.

[QUOTE="Bardock47"]

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] I legitimately can't tell the difference between shinedown and bands like three days grace. Just a bunch of "bro" music /hipster Basically, they're generic garbage with extremely, let me emphasize that word, EXTREMELY little creativity. imaps3fanboy

You can't argue over creativity. Both those bands do their own melodies/lyrics/arrangements. Which means they have some creative energy, no matter what you guys think about them. They are commercially successful acts- someone must like them.

I could say The Killers are the best band ever, but you could argue back and forth all day on why or why not.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"]

[QUOTE="Bardock47"] I find it easy to differntiate the two:? Now, I wil agre; I dont expect them to form the next wave of a music revoloution. However, I will say they do have creativty in what they do, and are good at it. There songs are fun and I really enjoy listening to them.At the ned of the day it is difference in taste, and starting a debate in music generally better appraoched without a direct insult if you want an actual disscussion.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"] Technically mediocre, creatively stale.

Music borrows from itself all the time. Do you know how many songs are rooted in just I IV V? Thousands? Huge components of popular music are melodic motives and text. You can't copyright a harmony- for good reason. Saying a band sucks because their arrangements are simple is stupid. You just don't like them.

That's a contributing factor to my disdain. Not only are they technically boring, but they have nothing new to bring to the table style wise. If you're going to play music like that, at least have entertaining personalities, and halfway decent/varying music like the Foo Fighters or Red Hot chili Peppers.

Breaking Benjamin. Radiohead?

[QUOTE="PurpleHaze89"]

Muse by a veeeeeeeery long shot

They're going to be the most influental band in the next few decades, quote me on that.

Engrish_Major

Can we really consider Radiohead new anymore? Their new album is trash, regardless.

It's all about the new wave now! Killers/strokes/bloc party/mumford and sons/FUN/Vaccines

Coldplay

The Killers, The Strokes, Muse, FUN, The Vaccines..

There are a lot of good new wave/postpunk revival rock bands these days

Shmiity

Foo Fighters, Against Me!, Radiohead, Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth, Queens of the Stone Age, Supergrass, Taylor Hawkins & the Coattail Riders, Black Label Society, Metric.
