What's the best band to "emerge" from this past decade?
« on: July 18, 2010, 01:14:09 AM »
When I say "emerge", the band has to have released their debut album between 2000 and 2010.

My choice is easy peasy:  Riverside

What can I say?  Ambient, heavy, epic, proggy and full of nuance.  I think I even like these guys better than Porcupine Tree.

Interesting question.

I think my choice would either be Isis or Giant Squid depending on the day, with Between the Buried and Me in third.

Alter fucking Bridge

The best voice in rock n roll and one of the best guitarists/songwriters out there today, Alter Bridge is a monster of a band with soaring vocals, great musicianship, and collectively great heavy riffs.

I don't know who the best is (that's too subjective) but my favorites are 65daysofstatic, Immortal Technique (not a "band", but whatever), Hurt and Dr. Steel.

I don't listen to Riverside often, but they're one of the few more modern prog bands I like.

This past decade has been my favorite in music, but most of my favorite artists started in the 90s.

Muse released their first album, Showbiz, on October 4th 1999.
I'm just going to say Muse.

Mando Diao (a Swedish rock band, influenced by 60s rock) released their debut album in 2002. I love all their stuff.

I'll say Transatlantic, even though they are a side project.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

My favourite is Frost*. By a country mile. Jem Godfrey et al are wondreful, occasionally I get carried away and wonder whether they've started their sessions by going "Right. What would Rob like?" They're probably in my top three bands ever. Which is pretty good for a band with just sixteen songs. (Well, seventeen if you include Secret Song. ...and then there's the Forget You Song at eighteen. Ohhh, let's just say sixteen album tracks.)

Pure Reason Revolution would probably come second.

What's Secret Song? And don't forget The Dividing Line!

I agree about them though, they only have 2 albums but I consider both of them 5-star albums. Incredible stuff.

Secret Song's that weird watery thingybob that comes on about five minutes after Wonderland finishes, on EIMA.

And yeah, TDL's in the sixteen studio songs. :p

Part of me wants to fill the rest of this post with paragraph after paragraph of wank about how grand Frost* is, but I think I'll let the thread take its course. But yes! Two of the five-starrin'-est albums I ever did hear.

Thrice

Holy shit I don't know how I didn't think of this. Yeah, definitely Thrice for me then.

Me too. I wiki'd them just to make sure they debuted in the 00's. Their first EP was in 1999 and then Identity Crisis came out in 2000.

Thrice for the win.

Transatlantic and Frost are close, though.

Agreed with the OP, definitely Riverside. And I can't think of any band evolving so fast within their first four albums.

Come on, oct 1999 is practically 2000... Muse is definitely a band from the past decade.

Frost is amazing, no doubt.  Good choice there.

I like Thrice and Riverside, as well.

Are we going for personal best or best as in iconic etc? Because I'd say Coldplay. Or Snow Patrol.

Their album released earlier this year, "Contra", is definitely going to be somewhere at the top of my top albums of 2010 list.

But Riverside is still THE band of the last decade for me.
