There's more music to be found in great indie bands like Yo La Tengo, Apostle of Hustle, Stars, The Decemberists, and so forth. There is excellent music out there - you just need to find it.

There are particular songs that I like, but they cant compare with the older bands. Take Iron Maiden for instance, they'e been going for over twenty years, and they write better rock than a majority of modern stuff put together. And when Queen's album comes out, I rekon here in Western Oz, in my little dump of an area, they'll smash through the charts. The reason that so many bands of yesteryear are coming back together is because modern music fans are now looking back to the days when rock was king and not all this rap bolloks that clogs the airwaves. Yep, I rekon Queen's knew album will remind the world what they've been missing all these years. =) M.H

Small labels are the only record companies that tend to invest in truly new talent, and they've nearly all been pushed from the market by big money-grubbing multinationals.

NIRVANA????? Foo Fighters kick Nirvana's ass anyday! Better musically by far. Kurt Cobain, overrated - he killed himself. Big f'ing deal!

LozlanTheMage wrote: Making generalized statements is a dangerous, albeit common, game. Dissecting what defines music as memorable is generally an art of futility, simply considering the uncertain shifts of tastes and culture. There was a time I agreed wholeheartedly with the first poster; I was dedicated solely to music composed in the 70s. This served me well until I ran out of new artists to explore, which prodded me into examining the decades before and since. The 80's remain a fairly barren period for yours truly, but I have found some remarkable artists playing today who both create unique music and, alternately, emulate their forebears. These include Coheed & Cambria, Ice Age, The Mars Volta, Proto-Kaw, The Decemberists, Rufus Wainwright, The Shins, Ayreon, 3, The Dresden Dolls, Kaipa, Lake of Tears, Presto Ballet, System of a Down and The White Stripes. Personally I think the collectively perceived 'decline' of popular music coincides with the abandonment of AOR. We live in a world that celebrates singular songs over the album-length accomplishments of most artists, which is admittedly a terrible and limiting shame.

This just as how Innuendo smoked the 90's, Made In Heaven right behind it. Nothing today can match Queen, nor come anywhere close.

Nothing to do with Queen at all! Overrated a lot!
