You'd have to look at this objectively, as pop bands go they're certainly up there with the best of the past 15 years. They've consistently released some very solid material, just look at the singles. In terms of calling them the best band of the past 15 years, I'd have to say no.
The likes of The National, The War on Drugs, Arcade Fire, Wilco, Animal Collective, and LCD Soundsystem would pip them.
Just Like A Women, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Farewell Angelina, Boots Of Spanish Leather, Desolation Row, Mississippi, To Make You Feel My Love, Hurricane, Simple Twist Of Fate, Isis, Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues, I Want You, Stuck Inside A Mobile With The Memphis Blues, Jokerman, Grooms Still Waiting At The Alter, Girl From The North Country, Lay Lady Lay.... And I could go on and on and on....but who cares?
