Genghis Tron

Good call. I have a sneaking suspicion that Board Up The House will be hailed as utter genius by me in the years to come. I'm still waiting for 65daysofstatic to hit me, I like them, feel I should love them, but don't. Yet at least. We'll see.

I forgot to add Queens of the Stone Age to my list. I don't like their current path so much, but Songs for the Deaf makes up for it. That album just keeps getting better.

[Seizurema]

A Storm Of Light
Bongripper


Honestly, I dislike most music of this decade. I'm a 70's prog man.

EDIT - Magma's new album

I always get praise for mentioning my Genghis Tron love on forums
As for 65daysofstatic i'm seeing them in may, gonna be bitchin'.

[Kellanium]

Silversun Pickups
Coheed and Cambria

Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails had a really great decade as well.

+1

[Big Mon]

forgot to include the Raconteurs on my first list. Just listened to "Consolers of the Lonely" for the first time in a while the other day and there are some mighty fine fuzzy moments on there. I like what I've heard from Yeah Yeah Yeah's but haven't heard enough to throw 'em on a best of decade list yet. I'm still stuck on "Loveless" and "You're Livin' All Over Me"
