Topic: What is the most important band in the world?

People really didn't understand this thread, did they? The most IMPORTANT [EXISTING] band in the world TODAY.
So not neccessarily your favorite band, but the group you think is the most innovative and important in the world of music--today.

Radiohead.

Fair enough, @Kid_A has been clear on the specifics of this thread, however all of the bands I listen to today follow a tradition of taking inspiration from past greats and current peers. There is not one band in my genre of music (punk, alternative, indie rock) existing today, which is notably innovative or important enough in the world of music to warrant mention under such a huge set of requirements.
The majority of existing bands I listen to (from Lifetime to The Lemonheads and Dillinger Four to The Weakerthans), simply knock out a cracking tune, with a passion and make for a mighty fine gig night out.
The only band I can think of is The Pogues, they are still gigging and therefore still exist (just!), their songs sound like a mix of traditional folk, poetry, with a sprinkling of punk attitude and grunt, to me. Listening to them there is innovation, in the way they mix their influences. However they have not recorded recently enough to be included either, like lots of older bands, they just play a live circuit.
I'll have to sit this one out. I will check back in on it, just to gauge what other tastes Nintendo Life users have in music. Cheers.

Chicken Brutus, are you sure you wanna start this?

EDIT: Props on the sig, though

^Wait, am I missing something here? Is CB impersonating someone? That can't be true!

Oh my! You'd better watch your back Kid_A. You've got a doppelganger on your hands!

Which one has the goatee and is from the evil dimension, I wonder?

I can't grow a goatee

Alright, you're the real Kid A, Kid A.
"The Real Kid A" must be a prankster. We'll see how long the joke lasts. <_<

Quite obviously The Beatles. Honestly, has any other band come even close to the impact they've made?

I'd just like to say how wonderfully handsome Kid_A looks today.

We're not real big on user impersonation here. You may wish to reconsider pretending to be other users in future.

One question, if you don't mind my asking:
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????????????????

Yes I've been a victem of this and it's not pretty.

Yeah, this is kinda getting old. Game over to prank-users. I give up on sanity here. >_>

Geez, how many doppelgangers are on this website?

Two, as far as I know. And it'll stay that way!

Make that: none.

^That works better.

The Killers are probably the most important band in the world right now. They are the band that can headline a big show or festival, who are relevant, and really pull it off. I saw Radiohead headline Glastonbury in the UK and they were a huge dissapointment, I don't think most people truly care about them anymore.
