re: Best Current Rock Band?

Best rock band is 100% subjective and it's pretty douchey to "rofl" at other people's choices. Chevelle is my pick because I think that they kick arse and have produced consistently good modern rock music. I'll give an honorable mention to Tool but I hate that they haven't released anything since 2006.

It's not that at all. But just because you love a band doesnt make them the best. I'm a huge fan of a lot of bands that aren't mentioned but I acknowledge why.

I guess maybe we have different definitions of "best"

When talking about music, I use favorite and best interchangeably. Why would something be my favorite if it isn’t the best to me? If I didn’t think Titus Andronicus was the best current rock band then they wouldn’t be my favorite. It isn't like I am championing them because we went to the same high school or something. It is strictly based on how much I enjoy their music. Now I am not arrogant enough to think my opinion objectively proves that one band is better than another. But there is no real way to objectively prove one band is better than another, so there is truly no such thing as “best” current rock band. So you just as well list your favorite, no?
