I am going to say Beach House. Two masterpieces of albums in a row. Plus they are unique.
Runner up would be Arcade Fire.

Best Band in the World Today
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Huge and consistently good yet always evolving catalog, still putting out great and relevant records. Great musicians, unbelievable live band.
2nd choice would be Spiritualized for a lot of the same reasons, though a completely different experience.

It is just an opinion thread. If you don't have one don't reply.
Of Monsters and Men, because the singer looks like Chaz Bono.

I am guessing most of you don't even know any bands that are currently producing good music. So you come up with lame jokes.
The Lumineers, because it makes me want to wear skinnier jeans.

I do think an argument can be made that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have thrown down the gauntlet….Any other bands writing music, cutting records and performing live at that level?

Sure
Wilco, hands down.

you know how you know this isn't true?
when you go see them live pretty much all the songs people like are the ones jay bennett was involved with… the stuff on the past many albums just isn't that great…
let me frame it another way… if wilco had never cut being there, summerteeth, or yankee hotel foxtrot would anybody be paying attention?
the highlights of nick cave's show at the strathmore were arguably jubilee street and higgs bosom blues (sic)…two new songs.

I have seen Wilco twice live and found them incredibly boring. I dont like their recorded material either though.

well..their new stuff (meaning the past decade) is largely incredibly boring…but Tweedy is smart and he knows how to make a set list..so he mixes in a few old chestnuts among the new stuff and then ends with a bang of new songs and everybody is happy…
Well I guess Wilco is INDEED boring. Two guys said it on the internet, so it must be true!
