The Best *Current* Band in the World?


So asks this post on the Guardian Music Blog
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2009/jun/26/best-band-in-world-today

The criteria is that the band have to be *currently* good - it's not 'best band of all time', and ought to exclude the many bands who have ended up as little more than their own tribute acts.

Bands getting a lot of shouts seem to be Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Super Furry Animals and (ye gods!) The Fall.

What does anyone here think?

Current band? surely that's AC/DC emoticon

Before I get my coat, my serious answer would be, of course, Rush.
