Talking about bands who have released a
debut album in the last two years, who would people say are the best musicians technically around at the mo? hmmm?

Anyone you've seen live who has actually blown your mind a la Matt Bellamy or Thom Yorke? I'm not talking about song writing, more actual ability to play their instrument.
I'd personally nominate:

Matt Tong - Bloc Party (Drums)

any other suggestions?
