GODDOM IT, GODDOOM IT!
We Have
WOLFMOTHER!
They are even better than Muse or Radiohead, just because they mess hard stonar (raw rock, as I call it) with alternative.
Also, let us not forget
Supergrass
The fact that they belong to the 90's does not mean that they belong only to the 90's.
What about
The Hives
Really, really nice garage band! Eventhought they are Sweden (j/k, j/k)
What happened with
Audioslave
They were great, alternative and hardrock again, but with more alt. and some post-grunge. Sadly, they were.
And to continue the list:
OutKast, Muse, Gorillaz, Radiohead, SOAD, Lounge against the Machine, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers (look Supergrass), The Prodigy (look Supergrass again, and no, Prodigy's last 2 albums were great, not a tragedy), Global Deejays (I don't like them much, but they form the kid electro movement), Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and many more...
Goddoom it, the fact that we have Linkin Park and Eminem in the 00's doesn't mean that we don't have cool music. Just MTV is trying to kill it, that's all.
