The past 50 years has seen the emergence of the most original and proficient rock artists of our time, from Elvis to the Rolling Stones, Led Zep to Soundgarden, Nirvana to the Chilis, Pink Floyd to the Sex Pistols, the list goes on (and on, and on, and on,).
In the past 5 or so years all we have seen in the realm of rock music is the continual churning out of bands that differ in sound and original material as much as the shape of wheels on cars?
Are we to say that the Artic Monkeys are our Beatles? Is Sum41 our Clash? Do we have a Clapton for our generation? The question is; in the face of the continual appearence of generic music on our radios; is rock music a genre in decline in the 21st century? What is your opinion?
