Modern or comin' from the past?!!!

Peace & Rock'n'Roll to all!!!
Hey!
I got a common question coming to my mind every day - can there still be great bands now? Or is that all far away in the past? What ya people think?!!!

 

There's a few. There's some nice indies and some good ones in the jam band scene.

 

oh yea there are. a lot of metal bands are good.

 

Hey, thanks for replying! I have just been trying to find something new (and unique) to listen... Can you suggest any bands?

 

Black label Society, Pantera, Megadeth, System of a Down

um.....................................................

theres a lot of good bands.

 

kings of leon

 

Personally I prefer the old bands. I mean who can beat The Doors, Hendrix and The Beatles?

There is good modern music out there. But there is alot of shit in it's way too. My band are great, and we are modern. Floyd Soul & The Wandering Wolf we are called

 

To drumminmama - Thanks a lot! I'll definitely try 'em all! Floyd Soul, I agree with you, let us say, for 90%. But who knows....

 

I think both the past and present have good music, you just have to look in different places. In my opinion, the past's popular music definitely beats today's popular music (I mean... Avril... Good Charlotte... come on). However there are still some good bands today, you just have to look a little harder, for whatever reason. As far as bands today go, I am rather partial to Fischerspooner, Ladytron, Rammstein, System of a Down, Sonata Arctica, Muse... etc....

 

yeah i guess there are some goods bands today... but nothing can compare to the music of the 60s and 70s definitely

That's a nice place to find independent and smaller artists and find more local musicians. I'm even on there...

But yeah, there really isn't a hard way to find live music. I like small venues, most of the time. Woo... Trey Anastasio is playing at the Landmark in Richmond, Va... Dark Star Orchestra playing at the Norva. There's a lot of small bands out there and singer/songwriters and psychedelic/jam bands out there that not a whole lot of people have heard of much.

 

i'm always tryin' to catch todays music (i must)... but 60's & 70's have a different place for me...as i said if there is "some" good idea and include "some" feeling with spirit it's not important the period.

 

I hate how people throw the word pop around like it's a sin to play pop. The Killers are an exceelent band and they are as pop as you can get. I would venture to say that bands are as good today if not better than they were 30 years. Music today is really alot more progressive and vast than it was then and there are a ton of thigns that you can do now that you couldn't back in the day.

 

Yeah... like get away with shitty punk bands versus some others like the clash or the ramones. Or shitty pop like the simpsons versus Brian Eno.

 

I love Oasis, obviously... they've got a new album coming out in a few months... yay

Michael Franti & Spearhead are awesome too.

Check 'em out...

 

Keller Williams does great Franti covers, when he feels like doing them.
