Rock Is Dead

I like a lot of stuff. But pop country is just about the worst thing out there. I've never been much of a country fan. But after discovering Patsy and Johnny and the Hank 1, I've come to know there is a difference. Then I found Hank 3! Oh man! If you haven't heard any of him look him up. He sounds like his grand dad but I'd dirty and gritty. Good REAL music. This all comes from a guy who grew up with Metallica, Zeppelin, Sabbath. Got into 90's grunge and now love some Staind, Korn , Floyd, nuevo bluegrass like Crooked Still, The Wailin Jennys, and top it all off with Beethoven.

Thank you!! Finally someone who knows how to put Hank Sr and Hank III before Hank Jr. I lost all respect for Jr after he chopped the good song "Family Tradition" up and added additional lyrics to keep little teeny bopper retards happy to attract a younger crowd.

Saskatoon's Rock 102, the station I'm typically listening to when I'm there during the school year. Not a bad mix of older stuff (bear in mind I'm only 23) with the required-to-be-relevant newer stuff chucked in. Also Canadian content that would be obscure to you guys (Sheep Dogs, anyone?) thanks to the gov regs, most of which is pretty decent, too. Since I've been listening online right now, they changed tracks from the White Stripes: Seven Nation Army, to Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama to Pretty Reckless: Heaven Knows, something U2 I don't remember the name of, The Trews: Paranoid Freak...

Rock isn't dead, you just have to find those who remember the good stuff. Heck, I'm almost 22 and I find most of today's music abhorring. Given that reason, that's why I have so many LPs, cassettes, and other such things at my house / in my truck to listen to.

 

Start with a classic.

 

Fill it with some beach tunes.

 

Cruise down towards a friends house.

 

And finally bring it all home.

Rocks not dead!!!! its far from it, you can't really blame the "new younger" generation, just like everything else money and politics run everything all these "record labels" shove the crap that's called music now days down everyone's throat, very very few people actually have true talent now but from the way it looks talent doesn't mean !@!#! if your'e not writing songs about Money, fancy cars, drinking and getting high everyday, and ( the other word for female dogs)

No, sorry, rock is dead, there's no one to blame...that's just the way it is.  Good hard rock is a dinosaur today. 

 

There are no good hard rockin bands nowadays.  Sure plenty of screamin punk and no good hardcore bands, but they're all a niche.

 

We'll never see another Stranglehold, or Maiden's Trooper on the popular airwaves again...just a bunch of hick hop and rap crap.....for the next foreseeable future.

 

Clutch may be the only good active hard rock band alive.

Rock is dead I agree but it's just the way it is. Music changes from generation to generation. I am part of the younger generation and will admit most of the music my peers listen to is beyond awful. But you may not like the music my generation listens to but I can almost guarantee your parents didn't like the music you listened to growing up and when I have kids I will probably dislike their music too. It's just the unfortunate way that music changes. Nothing will ever come up sounding like a pervious generations music. You can only hope it doesn't become too much worse.
