Just one band?

I'll fudge less than others and say

16 Horsepower, and the David Eugene Edwards solo Woven Hand project.

Woven Hand blew every other CD released in 2002 out of the water (imho)

Most of the the 16 Horsepower stuff is gotha-billy, with lots of dark spiritualism. The later stuff has gotten more folky, but it's all powerful stuff. Maybe if some more people listen to them in the states they'll return from their permanent tour of Europe.

I'll second the Talib Kweli nod above, I'd kind of always shortchanged him as the other funny-looking guy following Mos Def around (Dave Chapelle being the primary funny looking guy), but Quality was excellent. When all the other hip-hop artist started chasing after soul, jazz and other fusions, Talib proved that hip-hop can excel on it's own.
