We need a musical revolution

What is the last band that came along and knocked the music industry on it's ass?

Has there been anyone since Nirvana?

I think it is time for a revolution. When can we turn the radio on again and be wowed instead of feeling embarrassed?

 

i dont like most new music...
i stopped buying cd's in 1999 when the music that was starting to come out was so so except for a few redeeming albums like rhcp's californication...

 

Nirvana sucks just like the rest of them.

Training. Thats what all the best have.

Its the self-taught bullshit that kills greatness. I play guitar as well as 80% of the motherfuckers out there.

 

There are plenty of decent bands out there making good music. The majority of them are far from original, though.

 

who?

 

There's still tons of good music, you just have to look a little harder for it, becuase it's not mainstream, so it isn't all over the media.

 

what .... like daughtry and stuff?

 

Radio's shit.New rock my ass.Indie labels have some interesting syuff.

 

like who?

 

Daughtry? Don't make me laugh.

Bands I've been listening to a lot lately include.
The John Butler Trio
KT Tunstall
Paolo Nutini
Powderfingers
Feist
Dropkick Murphies
The Shins
The Weakerthans
Radiohead

The best way to find good music is to simply download random albums, that's how I find most of my stuff.

 

or American Idol?

 

Or not. No wonder you complain of there being no good music, if that's what you're watching.

 

when did I complain?

















































I love Kelly Pickler!

 

Yeah, I agree. Even the indie scene seems stagnant. Maybe the modern cultural context is just too fucked to inspire great music.

 

its like good music never even existed eh?

 

I'll name a few modern bands/artists I feel are worthy of mention:

Mogwai
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Explosions in the Sky
Wilco
DJ Shadow
Boards of Canada
Squarepusher

 

you love quebec.

 

GY!BE is the only band I mentioned from Quebec.

 

they were born elsewhere. they just really liked mcgill.




Remember back when they ruled, you know, before the exclamation mark?

 

Oh, and for the record, I didn't mean that there wasn't good music out there nor was I saying Nirvana was a great band... But it was the last band that really changed the industry IMO. They ushered in a change in pop culture in general. No bands since then have had that kind of impact on such a wide level, IMO.
