If muse counted (debatable i guess), definately them. Other than that, there's really not much I can think of. Not sure if that makes it a crap decade $:-\$

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.

Without a doubt in my mind, I feel as though the best band to imerge from the last decade has been Shinedown.

Wow..other than Redemption, I cannot think of a single band that has grabbed me.

Thrice is my #1 from this past decade.
Actually, of my top 5 artists, Thrice is the only one from post-2000.

Coheed

BTBAM
Protest the Hero
A7X
Frost*
The Dear Hunter

Gadough · « **Reply #82 on:** July 22, 2010, 02:13:51 PM »

I suppose I'd go with Coheed. I can see them becoming one of the biggest bands of this time period, and in a few decades I can see people looking back on them in the same way we look back on bands like Zeppelin.

Vampire Weekend

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

One of the singles, Giving Up the Gun

Fuck. Yes. Fanica. I Love them.

nathanselisko · « **Reply #85 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:46:24 PM »

for me its either Between The Buried and Me, Mars Volta or Mastodon

Gorille85 · « **Reply #86 on:** July 22, 2010, 03:55:58 PM »

Unexpect's first album was release in 1999 but I really consider them a 2000's band. Also: Gojira, Mastodon, BTBAM and Volta comes to mind.

This I can be onboard with. Unexpect have released one of the best albums of this decade (In A Flesh Aquarium).

Also as a side note, Gorille, I got a message from one of the members of Unexpect yesterday. I freaked out thinking "ZOMGOIWEMFIW NEW ALBUM NEWS?!?!?!?" and it just turned out to be about their new facebook page. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

I had the exact same reaction when I received it!

But yeah...At this rate, I even wonder if it's gonna be out in 2010

. Hopefully there will be more news soon!

PixelDream · « **Reply #90 on:** July 22, 2010, 06:26:54 PM »

Totally forgot about Karnivool. Their second and most recent album 'Sound Awake' is a masterpiece. Their style is so damn fresh, I can't get enough of it. The production of the record even rivals 'In Absentia' as far as I'm concerned. I feel this album is up to par with some of PT's best albums.

True, but I still find myself grabbing for it often. It's accessible, headbangworthy tough guy rock. No just kidding, that would be disrespectful. I have to say, they got the songs, the musical balls and one hell of a singer (+ guitar team!). Even if the songs tend to get samey after a while, 'Blackbird' (the title track) never gets old. It's over the top, but an absolute homerun on all fronts. I can't listen to that and not get a smile on my face. Or man tears. It's always something, and that's what I look for in music.

I really enjoy the studio albums, but I just don't feel them live: Songs are played to fast, and Myles compromises too much on his vocals. I know he can do better, 'cause the live version of 'Watch Over You' from the Amsterdam DVD shows what he really can do.

It is, but it would be really nice if we see the Keywork everywhere in twenty years the way we see Dark Side of the Moon everywhere now.

Oh yeah, I would love that.
However, in my eyes, Coheed has written 2 fantastic albums, and the rest are alright. I can't say that they are "on the path to greatness" just yet.

I'm going thru this thread, and stunned it took 3 pages for someone to mention these guys. Them and Frost* are all that matter IMO.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #99 on:** July 25, 2010, 11:42:35 PM »

Redemption is my choice.

Frost* only has 2 albums to go from - not a big enough body of work. They also are kind of a supergroup, so it's hard for them to "emerge" when most of them have been successful (in the prog world) for years.

Riverside is a close second...very close second, but I prefer Redemption a bit more because of the lyrics.

True, but Jem Godfrey wasn't known in the prog world, and I'm sure when he put together this "supergroup" that they had no idea what would come of it. Jem was known for writing pop hit singles, so really with Frost*, it almost seems like he wrote pop-music with prog musicians almost as studio session guys, rather than being a "supergroup" in the sense of Transatlantic or even Kino.

I think for a band led by someone who wasn't part of the prog scene in the last decade to come out and release two great studio albums and, currently, a great live album, that's a big emergence to me, especially since his vocals and keyboard work on the albums is just phenomenal.

Yeah, Alter Bridge is awesome. I completely forgot about them, they'd definitely be on my list, as would be Mastadon, who I also forgot.
