Favorite modern day band ( any type of music goes)

Mine...Foo Fighters man I absolutely love these guys. I'm mostly a classic rock type of person but when it comes to the Foo Fighters I'm hooked !

 

Didnt you here? They just broke up...that would make them no longer a modern band.
mine would be flyleaf.
oh and I kid o kid but they did go on haitus so dont expext to see them live or make a new album any time soon

 

Temper Trap (best aussie band for the past few years)

heavily influenced by U2 with their own distinctive style in their earlier days, doing more of their own thing now.

Ellie Goulding is one of my favourite solo artists.

 

I knew that they the taking a break. At least I hope it's just a break and that's all it amounts too. So anyways...beings it's just a break I'm still going with my favorite modern day band..lol. I'm not giving up hope that hopefully they'll be back & soon. I'm tired of all this radio play music these days and the Foo Fighters do their own thing.

 

Can I say Led Zeppelin since they had a reunion show in 2007?

 

I'll gladly take Led Zeppelin as an answer

 

I'm gonna get flamed for this,but I can handle it:

Two weeks ago I was in the studio with a team,recording backing for a tv advert.
Someone mentioned 'Professor Green',I'd never heard of him.

When I [and my guitars] got home,I checked on Youtube to see who he is.

I actually found his style and ability quite impressive-especially 'Avalon'.

The sad thing is I've played Rock/Metal/Blues plus been a session musician for over 50 years,and there I was,listening to this young rapper and being impressed.

I've always said rap sucks,it isn't music,blah blah.

Word-eating time for the Puggybear. . . . .

 

maroon 5~~~~

 

A lot of reggae. Stick Figure, Mellow Mood, Leah Rosier, Alboriose, Rootz Underground, Kultiration.

Listen to some bands that mixes psychedelic with at least a little more modern influences.

Anybody else seeing a pattern here? unk:

 

Great tunes....great players....great light show.....great fans....great nugs....

 

Windhand's fist album is my go-to comfort music.
Lord Vapour is very damn special too. Shades of Hendrix in singing style, and emphasis on guitar, in slow stoner rock form. Chill heavy.

 

Damn, somebody necro'd the shit out of this thread.

 

Yeah, I don't even remember posting on it.

 

Jesus...

Tacocat?
The Julie Ruin?
Ex-Hex?
Go Betty Go?
The Reprobates?

I can only pick one?

What defines a "modern-day band"?

 

Phish or the Disco Biscuits

but as far as bands releasing new material I guess there is only Phish.

 

Bullet for My Valentine - I started listening to them like five years ago, and fell in love. They have some new stuff out this year.
