Who the heck is wilco
Was Linkin Park eligible for this list because if they are this is a disgrace
The best punk, indie, and alternative bands of all time
Muse
Two door cinema club
Phoenix
Gorillaz
The Strokes
The black keys
Passion pit
The killers
Rage against the machine
The white stripes
I don't get why Americans find the 1st Arctic Monkeys album appealing, I know, instead of music about sunny beaches and palm trees lets listen to music about Ford Mondeo's and Tesco's
No Placebo in the list????
Love all these bands. So much of a throwback
Man fuck this imma go listen to Muse
Muse is the real N1,they do awesome music nowadays too

10.) My Chemical Romance (I'm not emo, but you can't deny their impact and they're pretty good)
9.) LCD Soundsystem
8.) The Killers
7.) Kings Of Leon
6.) The White Stripes
5.) Arctic Monkeys
4.) Wilco

HM ; Kaiserchief,Franzferdinand,Queen of stone age,Arcade fire,Kings of leon,Death cab for cutie and interpool.
Your choices are fucking stupid and based on nothing, its just a wtf moment
For me, White Stripes #1 absolutely no. Obviously Seven Nation Army is the most iconic rock song of 2000s but for example for me the Black Keys gave more like rock duo.
The battle for the firsts 3 place is between Muse, Arctic Monkeys/Strokes and QOTSA. Sorry but Kings of Leon are rediculous in this list (I like them)
I was a little confused up until the White Stripes. They're easily my favorite band of all time.
MUSE number one
The hell did Linkn Park go?
MUSE NUMBER 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No St. Vincent?!
The fuck outta here…
No fuel?
I am not good at distinguishing music genres. What's Green Day?
I came to this list hoping to get get Muse and Radiohead 1 and 2, why is Muse 5? Why? I'm so confused right now
So you don't have to watch the whole video.
10. Blink-182
9. Arctic Monkeys
8. Queens of the Stone Age
7. Kings of Leon
6. The Black Keys
5. Muse
4. Gorillaz
3. Arcade Fire
2. The Strokes
Honourable Mentions: Interpol, The National, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, & Wilco
1. The White Stripes
Kings of Leon are horrible. I get so confused when people put them in the same category as Interpol or The Strokes.
And for the record, the Black Keys are a a rip-off. We already had the wonderful world of the White Stripes. We don't need you.
Artic Monkeys should be swapped with Arcade Fire. AF are plain shit. AM are actually good.
5. The White Stripes
4. Green Day
3. Muse
2. Arctic Monkeys
1. Arcade Fire
Cage the elephant isnt even mentioned?
WHERE´S GREEN DAY
Fuckin love blink 182 but they should never be in this list, especially if it means The Killers are an honourable mention
Does anyone here knows The Hives? Greatest live band I've ever seen. They'd sure be on my list
The White Stripes? What the hell? Only a few hits! Killers should easily be higher.
oh reaLLY MAN??¿?
1. KASABIAN
2. MUSE
3. FRANZ FERDINAND
THIS IS A CORRECT LIST OK??
Muse needs to be No.1
1. The White Stripes
2. The White Stripes
3. The White Stripes
3.5. Radiohead (Kid A, Amnesiac, In Rainbows all great even though they were most famous in the 90s)
4. System of a down (alt metal)
5. Queens Of The Stone Age
6. Foo Fighters (Again, more famous in the 90s, but Wasting Light rocks)
7. 2000s music sucks mostly anyway
Like everyone is angry that there fav band isn't number or even on the list mother fucker system of a down get 4 seconds in fuck off
Blink should be way higher than 10!!!!!! BS
This is obviously inaccurate and the people at watch mojo can go jump off a bridge for not realizing Linkin Park should have been up here.
i disagree with this list arctic monkeys should have been atleast 5. and muse number 1.
The killers not making the actual list is unreal but what about MGMT
the killers?
blink dont deserve 10
Linkin park…?
