M83 comes to mind, but these things are hard to predict. I think most of the indie rock bands will be forgotten soon.
Even looking at what rock bands defined the 90s, I would have thought bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The Machine would influence more artists than they do now.
This has been a decade of saturation. Mainstream radio and MTV were saturated with hook-heavy R&B and pop while the internet was saturated with fringe and independent acts popular only within a set of young gormandizers.
I don't think there will be one band from this decade that people can look at and say - this is what the 00's were about. Arguably, this decade has been about the changes in medium and not the message itself. But it could be argued that this change in medium has altered the landscape of the music business forever.

80's economy was roaring and materialistic----80's music was poppy and shallow
90's marked by recession in early 90's, hard times---90's music was darker, anger/angst
00's economy turned around --00's-08 returned to poppy happy sounds
09-future economy bottoms out ---09-future music returns to dark and angry?
