Top 10 Favourite Bands of the 00's (so far)

Well, since the first decade of the 2000's is coming to a close, I thought we might as well put down our favourite bands and artists from it so far.

They don't have to have started in the 00's, just put out albums or new music in the decade at some point.

I searched for any threads like this, so apologies if it's already been done and that.

Mine are:

Radiohead
Queens Of The Stone Age
Green Day
Muse
The Strokes
Foo Fighters
The White Stripes
Beck
Weezer
Tool

I guess a lot of mine overflow from the 90's, but I like their 2000's work just as much.

Honourable mentions: The Libertines, Lamb Of God, Blink 182, Interpol, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles, Jimmy Eat World, Gorrilaz, RHCP.

Bloc Party, Muse, Sigur Ros, Death Cab for Cutie, The National.

Mastodon
Lamb Of God
Fear factory
In Flames
Deftones
Machine Head
Children Of Bodom
BTBAM
Faith No More (they count they refromed)
Soundgarden (it's inneviatable)

FNM haven't released any albums in this decade, though. And Soundgarden broke up in 1997.

Mastodon, Lamb Of God, Fear Factory and Deftones I thoroughly agree with, though.

Gnarls Barkley
Eminem
D' Angelo
Outkast
NaS
Amy Winehouse
Erykah Badu
Prince
Sananda Maitreya
Jamiroquai

Lamb of God
Gojira
Tool
Johnny Cash
Mastodon

Dropkick Murphys
Street Dogs
Tsar

It was hard to leave off Stereolab, but their best work was pre-00 in my opinion. Still one of my favorite bands, though. Almost went with Jan Jelinek as well. There were probably a few that I've forgotten, but these are the first that came to mind.
