absolute rubbish, anyone?

I dont agree with those who think that music is getting worse.
There is good and bad music in every decade.
Every genre of music has bands that bring to the genre, and others that take away.
Modern music is no different.
If you think that all new music sucks, then you arent looking hard enough to find good music.
Of course, if all you do is listen to your local Top 40 station, you are going to hear a ton of ****ty, piss poor grunge imitations.
But try to find good music.
There are tons of bands out today that put out quality music.
The Postal Service
System of A Down
Death Cab
Islands
Bright Eyes
The White Stripes.....
Just look for it and you will find it

Urban Hat€monger ?

Don`t be silly , none of those sound like Led Zeppelin

There was way more than 10 amazing bands of the past. Yeah, there is some decent stuff out there now, the White Stripes are pretty good I like them for the most part. It's just hard for me to take something like Led Zeppelin IV out of my cd player and stick in the White Stripes album and really enjoy it like I did Zeppelin. I guess I have spoiled myself with great rock groups of the past and will slowly have to dull myself down to todays music to really enjoy it like I do the older stuff. Music to me is most importantly about talent and the ability of the musicians to play their instruments, and to me the older bands had so much more talent that these newer groups just dont posess. Music is too much about image, especially rap music. I don't listen to music to be cool, popular, or anything else like that. If someone were to walk around looking like Jimmy Page did in the early 70s with the long hair and all people would point and laugh at you. Image didn't matter, it was the music, and sharing the music and performing the hell outta the instruments on stage to please the croud that mattered. Sure they got filthy rich and got all the girls they wanted, but all in all it was about the music. I'm sure there is some great stuff out there thats fresh out of the studio, but why should I have to search in extreme measures to find it. If there's a band out there that can be compared to Led Zeppelin, or the Stones or any great band of the past, wouldn't they rise to the top immediatley, or would they just linger around an independant record store or a local college radio station, never to make it big out in the real world? I think differently. I am in a band that plays alot of Zeppelin, Floyd, and other classic rock covers, and the crowd response is crazy. People are starving to hear great music, and mtv and modern radio is just not cutting it. Isn't It Ironic that almost every town there is in the U.S., unless it's some hole in the wall, has a classic rock station? That is because there are many people who realize that modern music isnt as good. I used to think it was very odd and uncool to listen to something that was even an album old, let alone a decade old, but now I really don't care. I listen to what sounds good to me, I could care less whether it was 500 years old, or 5 minutes old, or whether the lead singer was a fat ugly old man, or if he looked cool at the time. Image is my last concern when it comes to music.

doesn't really bother me much as much as it used to.. i still like a lot of the new music being made.. i still miss old rock music tho.. not that i'm old enough to have been around it as it ws being made or anything.. but i grew up listening to it as if it was... but i like emo punk.. and indie rock.. most of it is pretty good stuff.. into alot of bands i never would of thought i'd be into.
i'm not a fan of rap.. that a few of you know.. but i can understand why it has such a big following in the US and Canada... i think!

sleepy jack

Wow, you should of mentioned led zeppelin more i love how you said they're were more the ten ten amazing bands yet you listed 3! HOMG Seriously the majority of classic rock groups are boring psychadelic crap and instrumental talent? Umm the beatles sucked instrumentally i suppose it worked for what they did but whatever, ive learned not to argue with you anymore because all you do is go OMG LEDZEPCREAMFLOYD!. So im done.

That's a bit more than 10, and yeah there may be a couple new bands in there, but for the most part they are older. Please don't condemn me of being into only a handful of great bands anymore. Led Zep is my favorite of them all, am I not allowed to have a favorite band?

Remember, Kashmir. We like Paragraphs because our eyes our simple and of poor quality. This means we like to read stuff that's more broken up, it confuses us into thinking it's of shorter length but higher quality.
