" @FeatheredRainbows: Man, I really fucked up on the dredg thing. Wikipedia says they were founded in 1993. Gulp.  Octahedron's a solid album. There's something a little unsettling about a 50-minute Mars Volta album, and it never really hits the highs of their previous albums. It's maybe just a little too plain. Thomas Pridgen spends too much time sitting there not playing. They need that dude all the time; he's a beast of a drummer. I'm also getting a little tired of Bixler-Zavala's lyrics; really, how many songs can he mention eyelids? It's still really good, because all Mars Volta albums are, so it's a case of least good rather than worst. Bedlam's cool, if a little inconsistent, but it does have some totally badass songs. My personal favourite is Frances the Mute. I'd rate that album very highly on my favourite albums ever list. "

Theres a few of my favorites, in no particular order.

" @FeatheredRainbows: I would recommend starting with either their most recent release, Fantasies, or Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?. Their other two albums are good too, but I think those will serve as your best intro to the band. 
 
I'm actually a bit surprised that you have Stars listed among your favorite bands of the decade, and you haven't already heard them. Emily Haines, the lead singer of Metric, has done some guest vocals on some Stars tracks. I'm guessing you'll really like Metric. Also, you might want to check out Emily Haines's solo album Knives Don't Have Your Back. "

Just about anything Jack White gets his hands into is great
White Stripes 
Dead Weather (The Guitarist and Bassit from Queens of the Stone Age and the Singer from the Kills, really an amazing album)
Raconteurs
 
Other high lights include: The Arcade Fire, Muse, and Cage the Elephant (they're new, but their recent album showed a lot of promise)

HELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technically Rise Against started up in 1999, but I really think they count. As such, I'll put a vote in for them

Well, I don't really listen to modern music. But one of the bands I listen to, that was conceived after year 2000, is Kaizers Orchestra. If you haven't heard about them, check them out, they are pretty unique. They do sing in Norwegian though, but most Norwegians don't understand what they sing anyway.

The Killers. Why the fuck has no one said The Killers. And Bombay Bicycle Club.

A Day to Remember

Bands I love that started this decade?  
 
Ef 
Diablo Swing Orchestra 
Logh 
Yndi Hadla 
Venice is Sinking 
Moving Mountains

These are some of my favorite bands whose 1st albums were released in 2000 or later.  Some of these bands may have formed in the later part of the '90s, but they had nothing on vinyl before the 21st century.

Wow, I thought this would just be a list of metal bands but bunch of Canadian indie pop legends here, or at least legends in my opinion. Never heard of Deerhunter before but I'm listening to them now and they're pretty great!
 
Most of the big bands that I know have been said but  I just saw Owen Pallet's Final Fantasy last night and he's getting up there. He performed with a symphony backing him up and I think we'll hear much from him in the future. And Feist deserves some props.
