Notice most bands named are unheard of to soooooooo many people, shows that this decade is crap because it is ruled by shit rap, pop, country, and emo

Rhinocerous Surprise

My Morning Jacket
Kings of Leon
Twilight Singers
Duke Special
Queens of the Stone Age
Audioslave
Velvet Revolver
The Strokes
Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins

And is it cheating to say the Mark Lanegan Band, from Bubblegum, as opposed to just Mark Lanegan solo, like he was before?

Yeah, I thought so.:D

They are only unheard of by people who aren't paying attention. If you are referring to mainstream music. . .to bands selling millions of albums. . .that isn't going to happen anymore. The entire music industry has changed. The Shins' and Arcade Fire's latest albums both debuted at number 2 on the Billboard chart. Modest Mouse's new album will do the same. But in today's music world, that means selling 100,000 copies. If you really love music, you go searching for the good stuff. Many, many people on this board have participated in that search and have been rewarded. I would suggest you do the same rather than waiting for mass media to feed it to you.

so you are saying because they are unheard of(to you) , they arent good?

Open up your ears!

just because they arent on mainstream rock and my mom isnt a fan doesnt mean the quality of their musci is terrible.

if you look at all of the lsit from the people who posted in this thread most have the same artists listed. obviously we know which bands are good

That was not the point I was making at all, I am a music fanatic and spend hours looking at new bands. I am just simply saying that so far this decade does not compare to the past for rock music.........that isnt to say that there arent great bands out there, just not as many and few that are up to par with many of those bands of the past.

Arcade Fire
Ray LaMontagne

The New Guns N' Roses are the only great band to come out this decade. I know they haven't put out an album yet but they're still better than all these boring indie and retro rock bands out today. I'd rather listen to the demos and live versions of songs from "Chinese Democracy" than listen to all the boring indie and retro rock that's come out this decade.
