In no particular order,

Yo La Tengo
Spoon
The National
Wilco
Old 97's
Drive By Truckers
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
My Morning Jacket
Dr. Dog
War on Drugs

Sorry my list is so male dominated. Women dominate my pop, country and R&B lists.

Newer on the scene is boygenius, even though the individual players have been around a bit.


Indie rock is rock. I am not sure why you think it’s a different category?


Indie rock is code for rock that doesn't suck.

Neither should Foo Fighters or Three Doors.

Radiohead are English. I meant to say Pixies, but sadly their performances from last the two years have been disappointing. Yes, they have incredible songs that still stand 20+ years later, but they should retire.


Counting Crows as a rock band now? Listen I saw them (for free) in Richmond a couple of years ago, but rock they are not. Not in the 90s and not now.

It depends on what OP is looking for. For big name, kick-ass rock that someone would be willing to go into a stadium for and wouldn’t hate themselves for doing it, Foo Fighters. I know a bunch of those others, but I’m not going into a stadium to see it. Me personally, I would also go for Green Day.
