Rock and roll today?

Question

Is it me or doesn't it seem that the 90's had so much talent that we should still be getting some great albums today? I am just disappointed with the latest stuff from NIN, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, among many others. And some of the start-up bands that showed some promise in the late 90's have just fell off. Chilipeppers seem to be the only band to stick to their guns and continue putting out good music. To some of us, the music is what makes up our life. New bands today have no blues in their rock so it just sounds like a bunch of synthesized yelling over every chord they know. How do we get back to the bliss of turning on the radio to find a new song that has meaning and substance. There are some good bands out don't get me wrong. But Im talking about packing stadiums full kinda good. GnR was a huge disappointment followed Nirvana, are we numb from being torn from these attachments? Can we sue Axl or Grohl for this?

Answer 1

Screw it all and just listen to classic AC/DC......
It never goes out of style!

Answer 2

look im pissed at that korn was so good and now what happend i love the chilipeppers but they seem kinda clse to the end of the road and that worries me we will have nuthin to turn to axl rose was bound to fail and gnr had no hope they made great music but the drugs and axl being a big cry baby ruined it grohl did the best he could without cobain and it was not enough he just doasnt have it like kurt i think we should blame whoever killed kurt cobain probably courtney love

Answer 3

Most people in their 20s that I know that grew up in the 90s love RHCP, but they like bands like Wolfmother and The White Stripes too.

Answer 4

i think NIN and Korn have had some good stuff lately,
its just different from when they first started.

and that applies to most of the bands you mentioned.

Answer 5

music on the radio hasn't had meanings since way before you and i were born. its all underground.
