amen. ever since then weve had to go deeper into the underground for good tunes. even college rock today is shit frat music. even popular literature has gone downhill. the only thing in the mainstream that is still good is film. especially the past year or so, theres been a lot of big budget flicks thatr i have loved.

Yeah, and wasn't trepanning so much better than these modern fangled MRI machines?

No, let's discuss the trepanning issue. It's far more interesting than Rock Gods, surely. And i say this as one of the few people on here who still reads Q magazine!

The depressing predictability of Rock is how it never seems able (at least in terms of its more commercial A-List) to break out of this cycle. There's always another Slash waiting in the wings, just as there's always another Jonny Greenwood.
Yeah, and while both have their strengths... one is always infinitley more entertaining to see.

I mean part of teh fun of rock and roll is that its supposed to frighten the elderly... I mean I'm sure part of the fun of liking metal in the eighties was the fact that the pmrc and religous groups were throwing an absolute fit about it..
When your parents music was more scandolous and rowdy than your generation's is something's wrong.
I mean like I've said there's always room for the mellow artists, but when even the "rock" bands have no real star quality there's a problem.
There also seems to be a lack of classic singers either (no morrisons, plants, or hell even osbornes...)

Another truth that I think isn't really faced is that in mainstream music culture, rap is the new rock... it still shocks, and while there is barely any creativity going on in the genre any more, there are still some genuine stars of that genre.

Rap is where music went after Kurt Cobain died and people got tired of the lame post-grunge shit thruted upon us by the radio.

That was when it was musically interestsing.... even if NWA were shit heads in real life.

I mean you listen to Public Enemy and then you hear Soulja Boy and you just get sad how much mainstream rap has regressed...

I mean what the fuck....
XD
Learn the soulja boy (and many other shit modern rappers) method of song writing: Punch buttons on your cell phone in a pattern until you find something that sounds 'catchy', repeat it for five minutes, and brag about yourself in the third person in less than 10 words for those five minutes.

The problem with the current crop of Rap 'Gods' is that they really are the genre's least interesting figures (musically at least). Say what you like about Clapton, Hendrix, etc, but at least in their day they were on the cutting edge of what they did. you just can't say the same about someone like P. Diddy.

I can't read a metal magazine without drowning in articles on Disturbed or Corey Taylor's recent onslaught of suck.

I don't think that qualifies as rock god.
I don't think the kids really go crazy for these people
And I doubt either one of them will be immortalized in later generations.

You're lucky if you've never crossed the path of a dim witted teen who swore on either band/artist as the best thing since sliced bread. They breed like rabbits 'round these parts.

Haha, I'm sure. although i did have the misfortune recently of having to endure someone trying at great length to convince me that Avenged Sevenfold would totally change my life.
