There's a lot of famous artists today, but I'd love to discover new pop music that is oriented around a band instead of an individual. Bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd have all topped the pop charts. Glenn Miller's Orchestra topped the pop charts in 1940 with a fully instrumental song In the Mood.
I can think of Sammy Rae and Friends, but no others. What are your favorite modern pop bands? Especially ones with a focus on instrumentals. Edit: thanks for the recs!

I thought that too but you mentioned the stones and Floyd, neither of which I'd ever call pop especially in today's world.

Also, there's no bands band better than Rush 😁 all insanely talented, all super smart and caring people.

New world man was 21st on Americas top 40.

yeah i love rush, and they were closer to pop then than crown lands is today. i wouldnt call floyd or stones pop today, but they charted #1 in decades past.

Riverside is also very good if you like that sort of thing. Shrine of new generation slaves is my fav album. All their lyrical content is on fricken point for today as well.
