ya I like some Seether, definately a good mention.

You're high. Tool recorded two of the premier rock albums of this, or any other, decade in Lateralus and 10,000 Days.

I agree with your characterization of all of those except Tool. I don't know if I'd throw them into nu-metal or not.

69 Eyes.

Dirty Rig.

Says the guy who likes Wilco. Super ghey.

If it's on, or ever got PLAYED on "The Lazer"; it's gay, ghey, and gae.

say what you will about wilco, but i'm not touting a band with a f**king actor as lead singer, slathered in eyeliner.

I listen to their music.....not what he wears.

it's just generic emo. blech. their "image" gets them more play than their tunes.

Brand New's latest album was surprisingly great.

EMO:

Looks like the Cure, sounds like Matchbox 20! :rolleyes:

Is this you outing yourself as an Iowan?

Seether is good, does Chevelle count as 2000's? I liked Breaking Benjamin too, are they in?

Ruh?

For me, Tool are the fathers of nu-metal. They were nu-metal before there was such a term. But that's just my opinion.

Not high at all, well not now anyway.

And like I said, I never listened to either of them. I was sick of them long before the year 2000.

Well, the "Lazer" in Des Moines is owned by an outfit that has at least 1 other "Lazer" that I know of, in Milwaukee I believe.

I'm guessing there's probably a couple dozen "Lazer" rock stations throughout the country.

And yes, Lazer 103.3 sucks ass.

"Coming up; Rob Thomas"! :shake::cuss:

They released a new album???

****! I missed it!

Oh, the Lazer in Des Moines doesn't play Rob Thomas.

But if you're looking for a 14-song set of Disturbed, they've got you covered.

I don't know about "best", but Snow Patrol is a decent 2000s rock band.

And since Simply Red mentioned the Velvet Underground, I'll say that the Raveonettes are a VU-influenced band of the 2000s who are worth a listen. Particularly their Chain Gang of Love CD and their Whip It On EP. They are also a 2 person band.

I think I can sum up most of that genre with the following:

They did a movie called "Queen of the Damned", which was adapted( and I use that word QUITE loosely )from an Anne Rice novel of the same name.
The movie was complete and utter shit.
And the bands they used to create the soundtrack were a perfect match for the end result.

You really, really, really should. Tool shifted into a progressive rock band.

I'm in an extremely small minority, but I put OK Computer third behind Kid A and In Rainbows. Even though I bought OK Computer the day it dropped, it didn't have the same impact on me as the other two.

I don't think Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief are as strong from beginning to end, but they each have about 5 tracks that are personal classics.

creed, shopboyz, goo goo dalls, limp bizkit, metallica post-andjusticeforall pre-Death Magnetic.

I just puked.

I don't care for any of those bands on your list. And considering that "This Decade" probably includes the year 2000, I'd choose the following bands, in no particular order:

A Perfect Circle
Alterbridge
Audioslave
Muse

We signed that band when I was working in music publishing back in like 2002, before their record was released. The lead singer came into our offices and premiered their first video, long before it was released.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious and brilliant. The rest of the management team didn't get it at all (which should be of no surprise because they didn't get Eminem at first either, until the money started flowing).

I think they may have "broken even" but they didn't make any money for our company. And before you knew it, they broke up.

if I may...

I can't find the newest album. Link?

No other Death Punch fans?

Ain't this the truth.

Audioslave is cool until they start playing RATM material. Then it just gets surreal and bad. Oh so very bad.

No. No it's not.

Your list certainly is better.

Seriously? 100 posts in and no mention of Bullet for My Valentine?

How could anyone not get the Darkness? I see how it wouldn't make sense if you never heard Queen or T-Rex...But that was such an obvious funny and catchy song.

I still don't get Eminem however...I didn't make any money off of him. Word!

Now I don't have a problem w/ 3 of those bands. But don't you think that list is depressing as 3 out of 4 are basically fall outs of bands from the 90's or considered a "side project." Much to Billy Howerdel's chagrin?

I may have to, you guys put too much pressure on me. :)

Interesting. It's REALLY hard for me to rate entire albums. There's 1 or 2 songs on every Radiohead album that I could listen to on repeat for forever and not get tired of them.

For instance, Planet Telex on The Bends, even though as an album, I wouldn't put it in my Top 3.

Of course they didn't get it! That's why they're suits. ROFL

The thing about The Darkness is that the music is AWESOME. The guitar solos are ripping, yet tasteful. The melodies are catchy. The rhythms are crunchy. Musically, they're a very, very good band. Without the vocals, they'd STILL be an AWESOME band.

But then he opens his mouth and the whole thing jumps the shark.

Permission to Land is the only album in my playlist where every song is 5-star rated.

Rock - White Stripes
Arena Rock - Audioslave
Best Overall [U2 brand pop] - The Killers - I seriously love these guys
As 'rock' as James Taylor but very very good - Wilco
And the pick for among best of the 00s that's gonna get my ass kicked - Pink

And although I'm a Radiohead fanatic, I have to cede htis' point that most everything I love most from them is from the 90s

Speaking of Tom Morello, his new 2 man band, Street Sweeper, has a couple of free songs that can be downloaded from the www.ninja2009.com website as promotion for their tour with NIN and Jane's Addiction this summer. RATMish funk rock protest music.

I didn't like her first CD at all, but she's got a lot of pretty catchy tunes on her others and she's got a great/powerful rock voice, IMO. Better lyrics than the other pop chicks that she's inevitably but unfairly compared to, too.

dana carrey is one of my favorite drummers.

Where she always gets me is when she harmonizes over herself, that's some strong hoodoo.

You're hearing more of Linda Perry than Pink.

Linda Perry's an incredible songwriter and producer. She did wonders for Gwen Stefani as well.

Well, music and the music business is changing.

Personally, I find it depressing that Britney Spears is selling out arenas (along with the Jonas Brothers & Miley Cyrus) and Chris Cornell just finished a record with Timbaland.

It's a strange world right now, musically.

Especially when Disney is leading the way.

:Lin:

It sounds like RATM minus the ferocity. Meh.

I wonder how many country fans have seen the dude who writes all of George Strait's music? LMAO

AND I SAID HEEEEY HEEEEY HEEEEEYYYYYY HEEEYYYYY HEY HEY HEY, I SAID HEY! WHAT'S GOIN' ON!!!

No Distrubed or Godsmack??????? EPIC FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those bands debuted in the 90's, thus not eligible for this discussion.

Linkin Park, Radiohead, Nickelback, and Tool are?

Yeah, the people that mentioned them obviously didn't read the thread starter.

Wow, I would have never guessed you are a Morello fan. Looks like we might have found some common ground.

Disturbed released its debut CD, The Sickness, in 2000...

Can't stand the guy's politics, but I'm a fan of his music. And he gives a good interview. He's articulate and interesting.

Edit: I'm not as big a fan of Audioslave as I am of RATM and the two Street Sweeper songs I've heard.

Oh, my bad.

I just remembered that they signed their deal with Warner/Chappell Music Publishing back in 1997 for $35,000.00.

I'd forgotten that they released the album in 2000.

All of the big 90's bands started in the 80's. And most of them had record deals before the 90's.

I am well aware that what I'm hearing was written by a non blonde, but Pink's still the one performing it.

The fact that Karen Carpenter wrote Solitaire decades ago doesn't detract from the fact that Sheryl Crow sang the **** out of it either.

No..it's like two years old..but it's their latest album to my knowledge.

Well, that's not true. But regardless, the thread was about the best bands of this decade.

Not last decade.

Linda Perry is an amazing songwriter and producer. To discount her input in Pink's "sound" and recordings is tenuous at best.

Don't misrepresent my position. I haven't said anything derogatory to anyone. You're the one on the 'discount the talent of others' kick.
By your reasoning, Tom Brady is just a husk Belichek implements to display his skills.

And speaking of RATM (and The Mars Volta previously), last year Zach de la Rocha put out a 5 track EP with Jon Theodore under the name One Day as a Lion.

That's not what I said.

Just keep in mind that with a solo artist, the producer can be (and in some cases is more) equally important as the artist.

That's why I just about quit paying attention to any mainstream bands that have come out this decade.

One thing that pisses me off is what live nation and house of blues is doing to live music. It seems like HOB and live nation are causing local music venues to go out of business kind of like a Wal-Mart type effect. It really sucks to me because I think one of the things that make a city unique to me are there live music venues.

Uh yes, yes it is. But this is not the place for it as you pointed out.

It took Disturbed three years to write that utterly mediocre piece of shit?!
Good lord...:shake:

Yeah it is. It's a good album, but I don't know if you classify it as Rock.

I actually like all three of their albums, even though they are not even close to the same sound from the first album. Not even close.

Guh. Good call on Avenged. I listen to them quite a bit and, somehow, totally forgot them in my list. Great band.
