I personally find Green Day hideous...that is up until the last album. They have really come together, musically at least. Lyrically, I don't know, nor care, what they are saying.

As for "new" bands, I'm not sure why you want to limit yourself to just post-00 music because I believe there are some real gems that have gone undiscovered for some time.
