Best "new" rock band in last 10 years? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Foo Fighters has to be my pick for best rock band in the last 10 years. This is just a great band. They keep coming out with solid album after solid album. I love their style. It's melodic, but not soft at all, and hard/fast enough also.

I am open for other suggestions, but off the top of my head, I cannot think of another band that has had the staying power of FF, and also matches almost perfectly the style of rock I like.

Do you mean best stuff a band has put out over the past ten years or best band that has started in the last 10 years?

Foo Fighters released their first disc over 10 years ago. It was like 95 or so because I was still an undergrad.

They were good on SNL this past weekend. Did you see them?

I stand firm in my belief that very few good songs have been written after 1988.

Of course, one exception would be "more than words" by extreme. it was released not too long after 88.

I was upset at Foo Fighters for breaking apart Sunny Day Real Estate, whom I loved, but I have since forgiven them. I still prefer Sunny Day and jeremy enigk.

Well, at least SDRE lives on in part in the Foo Fighters with Nate Mendel.

Let's see....stay in Sunny Day or form a band with the drummer of what was the biggest rock band in the world at that moment, even with Kurt dead.

I would have gone, too.

Their song is very good. SO good that they wisely keep recording it over and over on their albums.
