let's just say for the sake of argument that a band "came to prominence" if you first became aware of them from 2000 onwards, that should make it easier

then my list stands

deerhoof

grouper

sunburned hand of the man

excepter

bardo pond

Lady gaga

Gaga lady

Miss gaga

Mr gaga

Off the top of my head:

Deerhunter

Atlas Sound

Demdike Stare

The entire Ghost Box roster

Serena-Maneesh

Ghost Box has been the discovery of the decade for me.

And I've no doubt there're at least a few glaring omissions there.

2000: Kid A

2001: Amnesiac

2003: Hail to the Thief

2007: In Rainbows

I believe thats the peak of it right there.

My top 5 are all artists that were rising to prominence in the 90's but then continued to rise throughout the 00's. I've got no idea who would fill that 6th position... there are dozens of contenders, so I'm just going to list a bunch

*edit: just remembered Beck, who I guess would be in the top 6, but I'm going to keep my list of contenders so that my effort wasn't a total waste of thought. The 00 artists are on their way out anyway...

Radiohead

The Flaming Lips

Autechre

Wilco

Queens of the Stone Age

Beck

Jaga Jazzist?

Converge?

TV on the Radio?

The National?

Dillinger Escape Plan?

Jim O'Rourke?

Arcade Fire?

Meshuggah?

Jamie Lidell?

Grizzly Bear?

Mastodon?

Fleet Foxes?

Tame Impala?

...and on and on...

word but ok computer and the bends and pablo honey all sold TONS. creep is still one of their biggest hits and that was 1992.

but whatever, tis just an internet thread. if i would have included people who were already "big" in the 90s my list would be way different lol.

Shit, my top list is bullshit because I forgot both Ween and Squarepusher. That throws my top 6 into complete disarray. I don't even know who I like anymore. Fuck music.
