the best band CURRENTLY playing music is Iron Maiden.\n\nthey have been around for close to THIRTY YEARS and they still headline festivals and sell out 80-100,000 seat venues to this day.\n\nthat's staying power. that's the greatest band.

Franz Ferdinand and Muse are the only ones i've heard of. I like em both.

Funny how some of these bands (Coldplay, U2) aren't American...\n\nMy answer is definitely going to have to be: NIN.  There's mastery on all levels, from recording to post-production to composition to live performance.

I've heard of them all.  The Cure and The Clash are particular favs of mine.  Saw The Cure back in'84...awesome.

AFI (DECEMBERUNDERGROUND), The Killers, Green Day, Panic! At The Disco, Death Cab for Cutie (Plans), The White Stripes (Get Behind Me Satan and Elephant), Hoobastank (Every Man For Himself), System of a Down (Hypnotize), The All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, and Franz Ferdinand. \n\nYou basically like  alternative music.

That's like comparing apples to oranges.  Both are great bands, each with their own unique sound.

Try the Italian band Rhapsody, or even Dream Theater. Fates Warning and Prong are pretty good too. In a more mainstream note but still awesome nevertheless, you can't go wrong with Iron Maiden and Rush.

You've picked two of my 3 favourite bands (the 3rd being Nevermore) to start with.  Good start... :)\n\nIn the Opeth direction...\n\nOther bands Mike Akerfeldt's been involved with are a good place to start; try\nEdge of Sanity\nKatatonia\nBloodbath\nAyreon\nPorcupine Tree\n\nSimilar style and progressive mentality:\nEnslaved\nCynic\nFarmakon\nDead Soul Tribe\nInto Eternity\nOrphaned Land\n\nAnd Tool... well, they're a creature apart.  No-one's quite like them; that said, a list would be similar to the above, really, except for the (obvious) addition of A Perfect Circle to the mix.

i think that the best band out there is Green Day

DMB is up there (or at least used to be before they got crappy) but the Grateful Dead has got to be the best live band of all time. Rusted Root is good live too.
