Best bands from the last few years?!

[luv]

I was looking at the other thread about today's music being "forgetable" and it seemed fitting to start a thread on what bands or artists people are liking from todays current choices. I guess I'm thinking of artists that have come to light in the last few years....or the last decade.

I'm always looking to buy new music or discover new artists that fit my tastes (which are varied), so if you care to....throw something out there.

I'll start:

Silversun Pickups - my favorite contemporary band

 

[Spudman]

Almost anything from the Inside Out label is good. Start there.
INSIDE OUT MUSIC - Welcome to Inside Out Music

 

[Spudmurphy]

Foo Fighters - but I see they formed in '94 !! My doesn't time fly !!!

 

[Jimmyb]

For you Spud, that counts as the last few years...

 

[JMD]

Modest Mouse - seems fresh everytime I come back to it

I really like the band Breaking Benjamin, they formed in 1999 but their a 2000's band (they are on hiatus now though)

 

[Norstorm]

If you like prog rock I have band for you from Norway that writes and play something in the middle of Rush and Dream Theater..

Their lates album NINE was just released in the states..

Check out the band: Circus Maximus

Clutch/Bakerton Group and Red Fang have been my faves lately.

 

[Manxmusicman]

Gabe Dixon's latest album One Spark is a belter, not very guitar based, but well written music and good catchy song.

I love the Foo, but I bought my first Foo Fighters album 15 years ago. We are all getting old! Ha!

Let's not forget Flying Colors

 

[Gio_Force_One]

Black country communion

 

[pedalbored]

Black Stone Cherry, Bullet for my Valentine, Foxy Shazam, and Airbourne are a few of the newer bands I have been listening to lately.

When it comes down to it, I would suggest that we choose 'fav bands' when there is a performer in the band we can look up to or truly enjoy... bass players will always have a fav because of the player in the band and same for true shreaders...

As the front man trying to bring a truly memorable experience to my audience, I would like to submit TRAIN as my favorite band. I like the stuff I hear on top 40 radio, however, when you have time to catch a live performance it is anything but average pop. Outstanding band with a outstanding performances.

If not live - catch a taped performance on cable.

I have to say the Black Keys have caught my attention these last few years.

Black Keys are very good...for my tastes, though the new album seems very compressed sounding (from the tracks I've heard).

 

[robzenbie]

The artist i most enjoy listening to is John Frusciante, his music style is constantly changing from acoustic rock, to progressive synth pop. If your not familiar with the name, you would be with his first band. He's an incredible musician and arguably the best guitar player of my generation. Give a listen to the Epyrean or any of his solo stuff.

I found a really awesome Jazz esque Indie Rock band. It's got some old western sounding swing music influence. If you all get the chance, you should give them a shot. They are called the Reign Of Kindo. Here's a YouTube link to one of their tunes. Some seriously awesome and catchy stuff!
