Foo Fighter's are pretty rootsy when it comes to their scene, their shows, and even their actual output. The White was rootsy too in a very mystical way, like Led Zeppelin or Neil Young were back in the 70s, so I think that makes them very iconic for the first decade of the millenium (though the music wasn't exactly revolutionary). I think QOTSA had one of the most distinct sounds of any band in this era, but listening to something like Lullabies to Paralyze, though it has some really really great songs on it and has a consistent sound, is a little uneven. Of course there's Radiohead, kind of, if we still consider them a rock outfit (i think it's just Pop now, in a good way).

My final answer: Neil Young.
