I enjoy a lot of mainstream music but there are two lesser known bands who have blown me away in the last ten years.

From the US Wilco, and in the UK the Delgados (now sadly disbanded) have produced some stunning music that deserved to be recognised in a far bigger way than it has been.

I wonder if all the major artists of the past 10 years are regularly checking this thread to see which one of them comes out on top?

Almost certainly. Menswear are probably really pissed off that no-one's mentioned them.

Using the criteria that to be great they should have released AT LEAST two great albums in the last 10 years (so eliminating people like Editors and Bloc Party etc. who have yet to prove themselves with that all-important second album), and have put on a good live show, left my list as:

Mercury Rev
Spiritualized
The Polyphonic Spree
Basement Jaxx
Massive Attack (just, though their best work was already behind them, barring Mezzanine).

Probably vote for one of the first two if forced to choose.

But where does that criteria leave somebody like Jeff Buckley? He released a superb album, but due to the inconvience of dying, he has been unable to produce anything since.

True, you can make a few special exceptions, but since Grace came out in 1994, he still can't apply for consideration here. He wasn't as good as his dad anyway.

Shit band but I did go and see them at the Paradox in 1996! :clap:
By the way, to DRF, what sort of music are Wilco and what could you compare it to. Its just I've heard good things and thought about getting their latest album but havn't heard and of their stuff.

I have a feeling that we'll still be hearing fron U2, Green Day and Eminem into the next decade, too close to call.
