Oasis released their first album 10 years ago. I wouldn't consider them new, especially since the genre they were in (Britpop) has come and gone. The Killers have the potential to be great though.

For a mainstream group, they are quite good, yes, even one of the best.

But if you consider only mainstream.

I've heard this talk about The Killers recently. What are they like? Maybe I'll try to hear some of their songs.

i've only heard of JEW. I thnk you have a case of group-elitism!

Finch is alright. I never liked Coheed and Cambria (Saw them in a Thrice and Thursday concert). They were also here for Warped Tour.

JEW? They have SOME okay songs, but no way near as good as some of the other bands mentioned.

Thrice on the other hand, A+! Absolutely one of my favorite bands. I can't say anything but good things for them.

They are flamed way too much. They're creative and sound great. Though I don't really like their JZ stuff, they are a very talented group. Yes

If by "best group", you mean "worst group"

and by "recent years" you mean "ever"

then ... yes.

The truly sad thing is their best CD, Live in Texas got a very short amount of time on the air and it had their best song ever. The old stuff is mad overplayed but you cant blame a band for that.

If we're talking about ever, well....

LP has NOTHING on Winger. Plain and simple.

DJ Hahn makes some catchy beats, the lyrics seem geared towards teenagers. The main singer Chester has a good voice but don't like the rapper Mike Shinoda much.

I love Linkin Park... they're easily one of my 3 favorite bands ever. Right behind Oasis, and maybe right ahead of Rammstein and the Smashing Pumpkins.

I don't care what anyone says about them. Saw them live too, one hell of a show.

They're all right, nothing special. They do put on a tight show though, and Chester has a wicked set of pipes.

hmm, I´m not sure..
Are they a great band? No.
Are they among the best bands to come out in recent years? Maybe.

Any rock group that can collaborate w/ Jay-Z and it still sound good... you have to give them some credit. They aren't the best, but among the better of the newer bands.
