in other words, the band that in the 00's has had the most positive affect on your life, the band whos music has consistently been very important to you, whos shows have moved you, and overall have just made music that has improved your lives throughout the years, as great music can do.

ive been thinkin about this a lot lately, and theres been a TON of great music that has come out in the 00's, much more than the 90's, and probably almost as much or as much as the 80's. there have been a lot of bands who i have loooooved over the past 8 years.

but, i must say, the band who has consistently one of my favorites, if not my favorite, has been deerhoof. i was surprised when i realized this, but its totally true. i first got into them when reveille came out, and then when they rapidly released apple o, milk man, and the runners four, every year id be lookin forward to their ablums, and so happy when they finally did. they got better with every record, and consequently they went higher and higher up on my favorite bands list. and last year they released friend oppurtunity, another great one and one of the best of last year. ive also seen them play live four times this decade, every time they blew my mind.

so there you have it, deerhoof has been the most important band to me this decade.

what about all you folks?
