Best Band Or Artist In The Past 5 Years (single, album)

MURDER JUNKIE · 12-16-2005, 01:02 AM

I have finally (sort of ) made my descision.

#1) The White Stripes, solid songwriting and excellent variety. I feel that they are worthy of all the praise they have gotten critically however, I do NOT feel that they have made their masterpiece yet.

#2) Death From Above 1979. Europe is freaking out about these guys. Typical Canadian band that has to go elsewhere in order to further their career. This album may not be much more than indie buzz right now but I would bet a week's salary that their next album is going to be HUGE!!!

Explosions in the Sky probably.

They're pretty groovy.

i dunno, i suppose they're allright to see live, but i definetly wouldn't say they're the best band in the last 5 years, especially considering the likes of the white stripes, queens of the stone age, the mars volta, franz ferdinand, the arcade fire, coldplay...

It is not a preference, I am Canadian and they are little more than a band that shows up every year or so to entertain 5000 people. They really don't add up to much here
