For quite a few years recently the music scene has sucked, with stuff like Coldplay and Nickelback, but things have recently started to look up for an Alternative Rocker like myself:

1.) Bands that I like that broke up are starting to get back together and tour and even make new albums: see Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., and even Soundgarden!

2.) Bands that I like are putting out good albums now: see Seether with Holding onto Strings Better Left to Fray and Evanesance with their new one.

3.) We are hitting the 20 year 'anniversary' mark where the nostalgia industry is finally giving '90s Alternative its due! Look at the recent mega deluxe re-release of Nirvanas 'Nevermind'

Stick around and post, and you'll receive a wealth of knowledge about it.

Dinosaur Jr. is pretty far outside the mainstream dude.

Anyhow this is contemporary music that sucks:







Sure, I am pretty sure that with all the reunions going on there will be more good stuff coming down the pike, like maybe something along these lines:

Janszoon

A band with three singles that charted in the top 25 is hardly "far outside the mainstream".
