[QUOTE=wolfhunt]Im not COMPARING, i'm just saying that rock isn't exactly evolving :bringit: [QUOTE]

Ofcourse rocks evolving! If that you mean into greedy corperate pigs! Music is a reflection of the era and vibe in which it were created - 70s was the era of freedom, sex and recreational drugs - just like Zeppelin and Sabbith. 2000s, the area of corperate thurst, depression and angry masterbation -just like Good charlotte! :D

How naive are you?

MTV is a commercial station run by sponsers , it`s not their job to find new music. It`s their job to show what sells & what`s popular , which most of the time is pre packaged corporate crap.
You want good music , get off your arse & find it yourself.

In that case, where the hell did I leave my time machine...

:afro:

Heh - well I caught the end of the 70's but was a tad young to enjy all that!

:P

Mainstream rock is hardly ever evolved. There are a lot of bands outside the mainstream that are very creative and innovative.

Like everyone else said, the thread started off with comparing two different styles of music. I love Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blur, the Clash, Soundgarden, Cream, so many older bands but I also love Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Sarah McLachlan and other singers. I love listening to Avril's music, especially her first cd. Alot of the songs are relaxing and really pretty, and I like her clothes, dvd w/ music vids and concert, ext. Her B-sides are good too, like Take It. As for Good Charlotte, Linkin Park and all that, I'm not really big on that many of today's bands but for people that like them I don't see the problem. I also don't see why everyone complains about MTV all the time either. I don't have that channel but I used to watch it now and then back in the 80's and early 90's. It's just a tv channel. Although judging from the tv guide it looks like it's mostly filled with reality shows.

i guess there's nothing bad in listening to"naked" or "i'm with u" if u really feel like hearing something light , simple, and chilling... but it won't inspire u or put u in the mood as... let's say "stareway to heaven "would do...

^^ Avril is a product of L.A. Reid, the same man who was the mastermind behind the stretch pants of MC Hammer. He told her what to sound like, what to wear, and who to deal with. She takes credit for co-writing her own songs, but in all reality her writing team are the ones who come up with the Total Request angst.

yea theres not much good artists nowdays.

You`re not looking hard enough
