What rock band represents you?
A list celebrating rock bands in 2016? We don't see why not. Rock isn't at the center of the musical universe anymore, sure "” maybe it'll come back to the forefront again, maybe it won't "” but you can't say it didn't have a hell of a run when it was on top. And, really, it's hard to tell if the genre's all that much worse off for its relative marginalization.
We're attempting to define "right now" as the bands we happen to be most excited about at this moment in time "” excited about what they've done most recently, and excited about what they're going to do next.
