All music is recyled to some degree. Even those artists back in the 50s like Chuck Berry and Little Richard were influenced by the old blues players. And then the 60s artists were influenced by the 50s rockers
and the blues players and whomever. And on and on it goes...
For me personally, I think the best band for this era is The White Stripes. They really took a unique approach to their music. I don't think a band has ever blended punk and blues together so well. Meg White rocks the drums, while Jack White plays a mean blues guitar. It's simplistic in its form, but also very effective music.
A few of their songs:
Hand Springs ,
We're Going To Be Friends,
Seven Nation Army
There are other bands I like from this decade too... like Coldplay, Gorillaz, Audioslave, etc. But none quite like The White Stripes. Although, I would say that Green Day had the single best rock album this decade has seen. I would say that 2004's 'American Idiot' was a perfect album. I think it's one of the great all time rock albums. So rock is not dead.. yet.
