For me it has to be the Flaming Lips. The music was great and there was so much going on (screens, balloons, confetti, Wayne Coyne in his own balloon). In second place comes Kings of Leon, who play with tons of energy and make every person in the crowd believe its 1976 and they're drunk.

A great live band is Porcupine Tree,  they won classic rocks album of the year this year 2007
Fear of a blank planet,   saw them 3 times this year,  kinda like Rush, Muse, Tool, P.Floyd.
also Rush is always good live, 
Anethema, Oceansize also good.

That's (almost) exactly what I was going to say.

I saw The Beautiful Girls and State Radio at the Station in Portland. Reallyyy small venue, it was fucking amazing, like, unreal.

I didn't get to chill with either band though.. oh well :(
