in 10 years, no one will look back at incubus like we can look back at early GnR, metallica, queen, pink floyd, and how ppl look at the doors, hendrix, joplin. they suck.[/quote]
OH NoES!! I guess I better stop listening to them, lol.
Question for you guys (not just Sean): How hard are you looking for new music? What I mean is if I didn't know any better and turned on WKTU (dance music radio station in NY) I could very easily dismiss all dance music as the endlessly cheesy crap they play. But there is whole underground that I wouldn't even know about, the likes of Diggers, et al.
Now I personally enjoy a lot of the current "popular rock" I hear, radio stuff, it is disposable and in general just filler so I'm not constantly listening to prog, but I still like it and see quality and art in some of it. However I have friends who are more on the cutting edge of rock (the way we are with EDM) and they constantly have long lists of new bands they love. Band who make complete albums. Band who aren't cheesey commercail MTV Radio crap.
So are you dismissing an entire decade of an entire genre based on MTV/radio? Sounds like some of you are stuck in that past. I know there are Elivs/Buddy Holly fans who couldn't get past the Beatles, nevermind Hendrix or GNR (that later being quite possibly the most overrated band ever, btw) so save me that "rock was better in my day" song and dance because it's all been said before, including about the stuff you love.
(Unless you're ready to acknowledge that all music has been in a state of decline since JS Bach, which I happen to believe)
