    It wasn't until I looked for it that my convinction about rock 'n roll had it's best time changed. Now I just can't pick an absolute fav decade for it anymore.

    Rock isn't dead, but Kurt Cobain certainly made an admirable attempt to kill it.

    If you're really 16, you must at least be on Myspace or Facebook right? Look at me, I'm 51 and I'm on both......I assure you tere are quite a few bands out tere worth listening to:cheers2:......I come from very far away in rock...started out with Little Richard all the way thru from Janis and Grace Slick on to Suzi QWuatro, Led Zep, B. Sabbath, etc. Now I dig Slipknot and M. Manson as much as I dug Little Richard way back when.....so you see?! "Never say die" :)

    ROCK ON..............IT WILL NEVER DIE!

    I can't hear the soul in Slipknot and Marilyn Manson neither, but there are certainly other new bands nowadays who knows how to groove.

    All the great outlaw "scenes" had a classic thirty year period (the pirates, the cowboys, etc). If Rock & Roll has a thirty year classic period then how about starting in 1955 with "Rock Around The Clock" (which put rock & roll on TV where kids discovered it and then started their own bands) and ending in 1985 with the LiveAid concert. Since then rock and roll has still been around, but where's the outlaw rebellious spirit? Where's the tabloid headlines and parents getting upset? Where's the spark, the fire?
    We can discuss this or that artist as examples of keeping it alive, but we'll disagree about so-and-so being rubbish or the best ever, so let's not. Instead, what's needed is a whole plethora of newness - technology, bands, ideas, whatever.
    I'm 46, and I love music - I'm waiting for that moment when I'll hear new stuff and think "what the fuck is this crap?"

    Careful there, lots of tabloids were slyly manipulated by even slyer journalists and record companies :)

    The problem today is that many young peeps have been BRUTALLY brainwashed into thinking that it's time to be like sweet 'lil lambs, be mommies boys and girls and respect authority even in the face of all odds. I'M GLAD I'M NOT A TEEN IN THESE DARK AGES :)

    I'd just like to add that I even understand why the young ones today are not rebellious like "my" generation...it's bl**dy hard work and you have many peeps pointing fingers at you. Really I understand the unrebellious youth of today :):)

    Oh please, youth is no different then back when rock 'n roll started. Only the stage that is the world has changed, not the people who play on it. In the new popular rock genres like indie and emo for example are still people rebelling against what they think they should rebel against. It's all in the eye of the beholder man, ask some grandparents, they'll say youth have far less respect for authority nowadays :p
    That young people don't really seem to rebellious in the media like in the 60's may be because most don't feel they have a cause because most of them are materially satisfied. I'm going offtopic though, since this has nothing to do with music. By the way, the fact that a lot of youth kinda seems apathic sounds like a good subject for songs from the more rebellious-feeling peeps.

    My heart cries more and more for all the nitwits here who name foolish dates and pronounce their beloved music dead just because they don't get todays good rock thrown in their face via the mainstream channels anymore. Doesn't mean it's dead if it's not on radio and tv anymore. It means it's just not the popular music to listen to anymore.
