Given that their recent output got positive recognition from AV Club, I was disappointed Los Campesinos! didn't get a mention. Really looking forward to Sick Scenes, I can't get enough of "I Broke Up in Amarante."

Oh yeah, P,B&J had the world in their hand after "Young Folks" and, as they say, the rest is history…?

Not mentioning the fact that TOTR *was* included on the list, I just don't see the Strokes, much less the Hives, as having a lasting impact on the rock genre in the decade. I mean, yeah, the Strokes were one of the first to hit the "garage-rock revival" in a big way, but did they make it last? "Is This It?" was a huge

I'm kinda surprised Tegan & Sara didn't make the cut, even as an honorable mention. I don't think they have been as big as an influence or impact as TV on the Radio, but they've had some notable crossover success while also cultivating critical acclaim. The Con and Sainthood back-to-back indie pop/rock smashes, IMO.
