Tame Impala is the best band of the past 15 years

- All three albums are classics, yet fairly unique to one another
- Kevin Parker is a legitimate musician genius who writes, records, performs, and produces their music
- Live performances are flawless and sound more in tune than the studio albums themselves
- Propelled the psych rock genre back into the mainstream with lesser acts like Pond & King G
- Stage production is phenomenal
- No signs of slowing down
Change my mind
Edit: this applies to bands formed in 2003 and after.

I tried to listen to them once. Music is okay but really just generic 80s techno synth. Vocals are terrible.
There are 100 bands better than them.

Too much reverb. It's not awful but I don't hear a lot of great musicianship there. The music just sort of lays there. I'm not going to try to talk you out of it CP. Listen to what you enjoy. But it's not really for me.

lol lmao
They're probably not even top 10 in that time frame

I really like tame impala, but they aren't the best band.
I would rate deerhunter, tv on the radio, shins, new pornographers, spoon, caribou, working for a nuclear free city - all above them.

You misspelled King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
Posted on 7/27/18 at 2:40 pm to CaptainPanic
I'll take The Walkmen or The National.
Posted on 7/27/18 at 2:56 pm to CaptainPanic
I would go with The National or Animal Collective, but Tame Impala is a good band.

Listen more closely because it’s certainly there.

if the war on drugs puts out another great record they might top my list. Their last two, especially LITD are phenomenal.

just always consistent and solid. Every project is a B+ effort. They just don't put out bad material.

If you give me a specific example, I'll give it another try.

No. I get their appeal but there are lots better bands.

War on Drugs is an excellent choice.
Posted on 7/27/18 at 5:04 pm to CaptainPanic
The War on Drugs is certainly a contender.
I wouldn’t have Tame Impala as the best band of the past 15 years, but Let It Happen is easily one of the best album openers in that time period.

The National is a solid choice. Can’t agree with Animal Collective though. To me, they made one good album with MPP but that’s it.
