Battle of the Current Bands III

It's been 2 and a half years since the last one, why not?

Current honour board:
Code:
2007 (I): The Killers
2009 (II): Radiohead
Remember, only bands who released albums in the past 5 years and haven't folded since then can be nominated.

We are using the Brumby system rather than the head-to-head one for this.

First time REM haven't been eligible. Feel rather saddened by that.

The Killers won it first time? What?

From what I've seen in the music threads, this will be a battle between Radiohead fans and those trying to make sure Radiohead don't win it, so reckon I'll not be in here much.

Why is this even a question: Radiohead, obviously.

Can we just judge it on the last 5 years only, as its silly Radiohead/U2/Oasis etc win it when they've all done chuff for a decade.
