I actually have a chart for this covering my favorite artist of the last 10 years, adjusting from year-to-year. The current #1 is a band.

Smashing Pumpkins... same thing there... the band IS Billy Corgan.

Animal Collective
Liars
Of Montreal
Sigur Ros
Califone

Parenthetical Girls
Slim Cessna's Auto Club

God bless you and them always!!! 😄 😄 😄

Holly (a fan of Alison since 1994)

P.S. I pray that a new album from them is out there soon because there hasn't been one out there since this one. They are missed. Congrats to Barry Bales on his ACM Song of the Year award win for co-writing the country song named "Nobody To Blame". 😄 😄 😄

Arcade Fire, Tame Impala (if that counts as a band). Arctic Monkeys in my opinion have put out three great albums and two forgettable albums, MGMT have been getting progressively worse, but their first two albums were some of my favorites of all time, Animal Collective have put out some really interesting music in the past ten years, and if I was allowed to put solo artists, I would definitely put Kanye West and Sufjan Stevens.

So, the best band (that was new/newish) from the span of 2004-2014 was Punch Brothers. I was tempted to go with Whitey Morgan And The 78's, but they have had a different line up every album, so I can't say that I would actually call Whitey Morgan And The 78's a band.
