Greatest Bands of the 2000's

[Ferocious Q]

foo fighters and the white stripes

[Runesmith]

Björk: She has consistently been a huge critical (and, to some degree, commercial) success since her career in The Sugarcubes. I think she was even nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Actress one year...
The New Pornographers
System of a Down: Probably the only modern "metal" (the genre is debatable) band to have gained widespread acclaim from both metal and non-metal music publications. They also had a rare amount of commercial success.
Radiohead
The White Stripes
M.I.A.
Outkast
Sufjan Stevens
The Strokes

This is just my opinion, of course. I'm more of an alternative music listener myself, so I'm not too familiar with modern metal or hard rock.

[Gargoyle2500]

The only good band I can think of is Kings Of Leon. I'm dead serious too.

I don't keep up with music made these days. I can't say someone I haven't heard of, Sorry if he is the biggest rock star on the planet but I'm that zoned out of modern music.

For christ's sake. RHCP released [their best selling in the US and best album] Blood Sugar Sex Magik in 1991. They released their second best selling album (Californication) in 1999. Their best selling album since 2000 is Stadium Arcadium, which has sold less 1/4 the copies as Californication worldwide (3.5 million since double-albums are counted twice per sale). They've been around since the early 80s.
THEY'RE NOT A 2000s BAND.
