Favorite Bands of the Decade

Aside from the fact that I find it fitting to actually talk about the decade since we only have 2 months left, I'm very curious what people feel was some of the best to come out in the last 10 years. Now I don't feel like I'm some superior being when it comes to music I feel nothingness and by nothingness I mean I am open to anything and identifying its quality by its substance. Feel free to include a band that has released an album recently but has been around for 30 or so years because them releasing an album recently automatically makes them relevant in some light. Just a few from the top of my head and I encourage people to give any of these a listen from youtube, etc and I would of course do the same if a band sounds unfamiliar.

The Main Drag

Placebo (start from the beginning of their work)

Modest Mouse (start from the beginning of their work)

Dredg

Radiohead

Cursive

RX Bandits

Porcupine Tree

The Mars Volta

Since you said "Have been around for 30 years but recently released an album" I shall say Bon Jovi. They've had several including 'The Circle' that comes out next month :)

In no real order: Thrice, Portugal the Man, RX Bandits, Circa Survive, Porcupine Tree, Cursive, the Mars Volta, Alexisfire, City in Colour (Dallas Green solo works)

Tool (who will always hold a special place in my heart as what I believe the most brilliant band in the history of music), A Perfect Circle, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Nine Inch Nails, a few others.

Lots of good bands have released CD's in the past 10 years. Old and new alike, I would be here all day listing the bands I think are good. I'll just add to the convo and give my top five.

1) Iron Maiden
2) Metallica
3) Megadeth
4) Slayer
5) Lamb of God

Since you said "Have been around for 30 years but recently released an album" I shall say Bon Jovi. They've had several including 'The Circle' that comes out next month :)

EDIT: Also, the guy in your sig, what movie is that? I remember being at my friends house and catching the last 20 mins or so, and it seems hilarious, I just forgot what it was called and I want to watch it haha.

Muse.

Mine would be Amaral, Wintersun, and Opeth.

Nine Inch Nails durrr.

The level of productivity, quality, and the breaking from the record label to release things in a fairer way, mixed with the best live show around and a foray into the ARG makes this the correct choice.

Of this decade, a fair few...

M83
Cut Copy
The Radio Dept.
Amusement Parks On Fire
Camera Obscura
Band Of Horses
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Death From Above 1979
HeartsRevolution
The Teenagers
Crystal Castles
The Knife
Glass Candy
Chromatics
Simian Mobile Disco
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Cansei de Ser Sexy
Kap Bambino
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
The Presets
Ladytron

The Killers

Opeth

Nine inch nails

Radiohead

The Cure

The Strokes

Muse

Queens of the stone age

Sonic Youth have been around for a long time but they've been releasing incredible albums in the 00s. For more recent artists, I'd say St. Vincent, The Dresden Dolls, Los Campesinos, Crystal Castles and Art Brut.
