Nirvana seemed to be the last of the great rock bands & Kurt one of, if not the last great Rock icon...am I wrong? Yes, 13+ yrs. ago. Pearl Jam is close. One could say these days that U2 are big...but of course they came before Nirvana & didn't shake the Billboards and rock in the same way, since.
Also, just in case you were wondering my favorite band is PJ. If you kids out there want to get angry at me, and tell me how much you love your Green Days, Offspring, Coldplay etc. then go right ahead and do it. But I think you & I will both agree they are not going to change the world the same way The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Stooges, The Clash, Led Zeppelin etc. did, are they?

Okay, that's it. Now, I'm not interested in arguing back & forth w/ people, just give your thoughts on the question. And if you still want to argue, well then so be it....

    Who cares who will be crowned the next great band, just enjoy the music that is out there.

    That's what I'm thinking.... there hasn't been a great rock movement since Seattle.

    I think we are getting to the point where everything has been done before basically

    I think there will be another great band sooner or later. I'm sure people in the 70s thouht there would never be another great band too. We just have to be patient. For me there will never be another Pearl Jam but there will be great bands.
