My vote is for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they are New York City art rock and have a very unique sound to them and are very genuine, and overall are one of my favorite rock bands. They're also nearly Gold and their major label debut is critically acclaimed.

Switchfoot made their major label within this time frame, a band I see great things still yet to come for them.
They emerged from underground, where they found much critical acclaim, and really don't have much to lose right now. We can probably expect more great things from them.
Sincerely,

I don't know if they will, but to me, Jet has one of the higher quality sounds out there and they are far more innovative than people are giving them credit for.
They are more than a "retro" band, they are musicians that are pretty good.

Maroon 5 I'm afraid they are going to burn out. I really like their music, but I see She Will Be Loved as a big hit, maybe even a big hit with a fourth single and then the follow up album just won't be able to compete. |

Out of the ones listed, I'd have to say that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs can stay the longest. They may not be extremely popular, but there will be more than enough people that enjoy their brand of music.
Other than that, I can see Switchfoot and Evanescence.
If Switchfoot can make an album as good as the Beautiful Letdown for their next effort, they'll be around 10 years or longer.
I think Evanescence also has longevity with the same idea. If they can make a new album that's as addicting as Fallen was, they'll be around for a long time regardless of who's heading the instruments.

I've heard that Switchfoot have caused some controversy recently by claiming to be a Christian Rock band and then taking it back.  As for Evanescence, I'm worried that w/ Ben Moody gone that some of the chemistry/writing magic is gone, although I read in an article about Ev that Ben and Amy always wrote in separate rooms. They'll have massive numbers for their opening week though. I'm not trying to bash opinions, but I'm most skeptical about YellowCard out of the four options, they just don't stand out in the music industry in my opinion, I give them another album which will result in poor sales and being dropped or a burnout. |

They are more than a "retro" band, they are musicians that are pretty good. I'm a little mixed on them right now. Jet is coming off to many as a band who is just copying other bands sounds, and that has even resulted in a tour backlash known as "Get Bored" in Australia. I personally think Jet's debut is decent enough, but their sophomore effort is going to explain everything. If it comes off fresh, they'll stick around longer. If it's a repeat of "Get Born", they're going to fade away. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

Switchfoot is pretty much in the same vein as Creed in my opinion (not in a bad way anyway, Switchfoot is much better! ;) .) They have Christian rock instincts but it doesn't mean they're a Christian outfit. In any rate, I don't think that's going to affect them. As for Evanescence, I actually think they're going to head downhill. With Ben Moody already gone and huge expectations set for their next album ("Fallen" over 5X platinum now), it's going to be an exhausting and difficult transitional stage for the band, and I don't see them living up to their debut. Yellowcard, no way. I think just like Good Charlotte they'll likely be the band of the moment and then the next sister band will replace their stature. I'd say the Yeah Yeah Yeah's are the band mentioned on the list that'll most likely have the strongest longevity. They don't have anything that's really pop radio, but it helps at first to warm up to a specific audience, and then it's only up from here. "Maps" marked a major development for the band's climbing in position, and soon enough they could likely be a ubiquitous cult Alternative presence. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

Maroon 5 will be one of the biggest acts this decade.
However, I agree Switchfoot, The Yeah Yeah Yeah's are also strong contenders.
As far as Evanescence, I really don't know, I coulde see Amy Lee having a good solo career....following the same career path as Natalie Merchant. Maybe afew more Evanescence albums, maybe, and then doing her own stuff.
Other groups to consider:
Incubus
Modest Mouse
Dashboard Confessional

Modest Mouse, definitely. "GNWLBN" is actually their sophomore major label release, but their breakthrough anyway. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

Definitely not the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Why do you say that? Thanks to the success of "Maps", they've gained a good fanbase, and are only about 85K from being certified Gold. |

I have a feeling that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be one-hit wonders. That's not to say that they aren't a good band, but most of their music just isn't very radio-friendly. Plus, "Maps" fell off the Alternative chart very quickly. I think that if Maroon 5 can continue to come out with albums as strong as Songs About Jane, then they will have a lot of longetivity. |

Jet I have a feeling they'll be a one-album wonder. Maybe they'll have another hit from Get Born, but I can't see them pulling that again a few years down the road.
Yellowcard You're kidding, right?
Yeah Yeah Yeah's Eh, they may have another minor hit, but I don't see them lasting too long.
Maroon 5 Here's a band we'll be hearing a lot of for a while. Adults love them, they're pop-friendly, they're very universal and talented. I can see them becoming the next 3 Doors Down.
Switchfoot I can see more hits for them. I'll be keeping my eye on them...
Evanescence Ben walking out on them won't help any, but I'm not sure how much most people care as long as the sound doesn't change drastically. They'll stick around.

Maroon 5 is the most likely of these bands. I give Jet a shot too. Yellowcard is garabage.
As for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I think you need to be successful first before you can even bring up longevity.
