What do people think about old rock music?
Is there space for it in todays charts??
All the new rock bands that are coming out now all have the same sound. Does anyone else agree? There are a few decent bands like the Kaiser Cheifs and Kasabian and they have a real sound but a lot of bands seem to have the same dum de dum de dum sound.
I missed Reading Festival (carling weekend) this year and I'm slightly annoyed because I missed out on seeing the Kaiser Cheifs and Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam are a good example of how old rock music can still be popular now. Is it going to be possible for old rock bands or even new rock bands with an old sound to make it big now?
I've been a fan of rock music all my life. I was brought up listening to bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the Rolling Stones. There aren't any bands at the moment that really have some sort of break through sound. I feel like maybe they've run out of sounds. Run out of things to do.
A decent guitar solo is very rare now adays. The closest I heard reccently was The Darkness who although were very successful have sort of turned into a one hit wonder band. That one hit being there first album. But they were too cheesy for me. I know men in tight jeans and big hair is supposed to be cheesy but I miss the real rock ballads!!!
Does anyone else agree? Or is it just me.

Looks like my original assessment was spot on.
