Battles is incredible live..
I had saw them in a small club in Milwaukee and it felt like I was watching something really special and rare, like Miles Davis playing Bitches Brew or something

Gotta love Battles... best band of the decade, though, I don't know.

LCD Soundsystem?

Old Man Gloom

or:

Deathspell Omega

I'll decide in say, 2021 or so. Could be someone different by then. Unlikely, but possible.

BTW, you guys were supposed to post all your favourite bands of the decade, not just the best.

This works for me, and add Electric Wizard and Anoushka Shankar.

My favorites.

Boris
Sigur Ros
Comets On Fire
Bardo Pond (though they couldn't really match their 90s output)
Boredoms (while they only came out with 2 albums, the multiple drummer shows are one of the best things this decade)
Animal Collective
Electric Wizard (though nothing really to write home about after Dopethrone)
Black Dice
Gang Gang Dance
Liars
Sunn O)))
Acid Mothers Temple
Mono
Explosions In The Sky
Sunburned Hand of the Man
Lightning Bolt
Mastodon (until the new album)
Melt-Banana (again until their newest)
High On Fire
Deerhunter / Atlas Sound / Lotus Plaza
Arcade Fire
Broken Social Scene

In general I just liked how shoegaze, super fat verby production, lofi, and analog sounds came back in a big way this decade.
