RE: Where have all the rockers gone? We found some!
At the risk of sounding like a has been old fart, I will say right now: ROCK MUSIC IS DEAD
There are no new rock bands left doing any really good music.
NONE
Anyone who disagrees - just name one awesome album released this decade...
White Stripes "Elephant" was 2003
And Yeah Yeah Yeahs "It's Blitz"was 2009
The last truly great rock album was Fat Of The Land in 1997
Music has now become yet another propagander tool of our zionist overlords, using talentless illuminati transgender puppets to turn young people into mind controlled slaves
The Monkees (man, I LOVE The Monkees) released a brand new album with all new songs in 2016. It's their standard "bubble gum pop" music, but a couple of the songs on there really rock.
Thanks - I'll check it out
BUT - that was a 50 year anniversary album! - new music LOL ...
Well, technically, it WAS new music (even if it sounded much like their old music). 😉
Not Sift's scene at all, but I'll definitely be checking it out!
I loved it. The album is called "Good Times." I highly recommend it. I've been a Monkees fan since 1978, when I was a wee lass and my mother introduced me to reruns of their show.
I've seen them perform live four times (three with Micky, Peter, and Davy, and one with Micky, Peter, and Mike), and have seen Micky (my favorite) perform live as a solo artist four times, as well. I even got to meet him face-to-face and speak to him once, which was cool. I've had a few entire conversations with his sister via her Etsy store....she performs with him at every Monkees and solo show he does, and she is super sweet.
I never realised they had still been actively working and touring. Nice to hear of musicians who have had such long careers.
Micky and Mike are doing a small tour of the US this summer. It's the first time they've gone out together as a duo. Peter is busy working on an album, so he won't be joining them.
Oh, you're just spoiling for an argument, aren't you? You know I hate Prodigy! But my specific disagreement is that Fat of the Land isn't a rock album. I had to go Google it to find out what they are and the various descriptions include Techno, Electronica, Hardcore and Alternative Dance. But at no stretch of anybody's imagination are they rock.
White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs - I agree they're rock though.
I get what you mean, but to me if it rocks it is rock, even if it is rap or even techno (although I much prefer Madchester)
You said I'd hate this! I actually quite like it. Though once the beat kicks in, that is a bit overpowering. Maybe a little too fast and loud. But on the whole, it's quite funky.
You definitely can't listen to mainstream music if you want to hear anything with substance. I refuse to believe rock is dead, just in a hibernation period, it has to come back ;)
Actually, my brother broke away from his normal Folk/blues sound to do a tribute song for Chris Cornell. It's more a ballad, but I still think you'd appreciate it. I'm probably going to post about it, since it's the first song from his new album that he's released, but I'm going to drop it to you first:
I think we could slip it into soft rock, at least. Love it! Go, Ed.
