great 21st century bands

libertines

We may measure greatness differently, but for my money (whether on albums or tickets) ...

The Dead Weather
The Raconteurs
Bloc Party
My Morning Jacket
Muse
Arctic Monkeys
Japandroids
The Joy Formidable
The Hives
The Fags
The Futureheads
Fountains of Wayne

Sorry for the predictabilty/lack of obscurity some of these of course recorded before the 2000s but peaked during them.

Strokes (first 2 albums anyway)
Libertines
Exploding Hearts
White Stripes
Spoon
Ike Reilly Assassination

Great-ish or great at some moments

Arctic Monkeys (first 2 really)
Black Lips
Futureheads
The National (Alligator and Boxer)

Potentially Great Down The Road:

Cloud Nothings maybe
