best artists in the last 15 years


I am wanting to focus on the newest and up coming artists. Specifically rock,folk and jazz or a mix of them. Who is most likely the most talented, best written and produced
arp

Mybe not "the greatest", but try out the Norwegian world-music artist Øystein Sevåg. Beautiful, relaxed music, great sound, kind of modern classic. The album "Visual" with the Finish guitarplayer Lakki Patey is my favorite.
Bongofury:

If you like Earle, and haven't already, try Hayes Carll, "Trouble in Mind." Like the earlier Earle, maybe better.

John
Bongofury,

You are talking mostly mainstay classics that should be in everyone's collection - I completely agree with your selection - however these are not the "newest up and coming artists..."
Radiohead
Coldplay
Bjork
Sigur Ros
Zero 7
Air
Damien Rice
Joanna Newsom

I'm glad to see people list some of my favorites. Good to see more progressive listings. :)
