Best Band Or Artist In The Past 5 Years
 

Do not be too quick to post here folk's, there are some rules and guidelines here. The question to be more clear is which band or artist which has appeared in the last 5 years has made the most significant impact on the face of modern music as we know it. Do not simply type in the band name, I need you to CONVINCE me and anyone else on this forum. I will stay Switzerland for now because I really haven't thought of my answer.

Perhaps one of you can convince me into my answer

since 2000 i dont think anyone can really argue with the white stripes? nobody has been as original, innovative or diverse.
3 quality albums and one above average album isnt bad.

^^ **** Off!! Original? if you call averrage lyrics, deep purple like power chord songs and drumming that even def leppards one armed drummer could do blindfolded than yeah they're original or innovative or diverse. 3 ****ty albums more like.

Great new bands?? American hi-fi, Seether, Hot Hot Heat, Fozzy, Reel Big Fish..

Who's the best?? i don't know..I think that you can't really decide.

I think comemrically someone liek Coldplay have relaly become the big band in teh past few years. However bands like babyshambles and Kaiser Cheifs are also pretty big right now (unfortunatky)

average lyrics? take time out to actually listen to them before running your mouth off. the simplicity of their music is their strength.
give me one other band of the past 40 years who are like the white stripes? american hi-fi, HHH, seether? your joking yeah? talk about generic. and coldplay or babyshambles? best band of the last 5 years? fuck off.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thanks, i needed a good laugh.

the mars volta, franz ferdinand, coldplay, system of a down, kings of leon,the white stripes - criteria? at least two great albums in the last 5 years from each of them

You are mostly dead on, except for Franz Ferdinand, which i consider one of the most godawful bands in recent years...My money is on.....


Mars Volta, Radiohead, White Stripes, Muse, Coldplay, Sigur Ros, Incubus,
Gorlliaz, The Strokes, Tool, Beck, Coheed And Cambria.

id add QOTSA, elbow, libertines (british music scene wise anyway) and bright eyes (love him or hate him- hes released a couple of very competent albums in 5 years) into the mix aswell.

shit, the queens, i can't believe i forgot about them.....definetly....

a lot of people seem to overlook queens. but the simple truth is America hasnt produced a band as good as this since sliced bread.
