If you like those things, that's fine. But when people say anything in the vicinity of "old music good, new music bad", they might as well be dragging themselves to the graveyard. My first favorite bands were Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd when I was a teenager (born 1987) and had no consistent exposure to the breadth of the music world beyond what, you guessed it, my dad played in the car. While I still respect the influence bands like those had, I would be more than happy to live my entire life from this point forward without ever hearing the same tired classic rock radio shit that has been played on loops for 30-50 years. "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Hotel California" make me want to break the nearest speaker.
I think The National, a very popular modern rock band, blows either LZ or PF out of the water. Not everyone will agree with that specific assertion, and that's okay. But good god people, the world still turns post-grunge.
If you like a bunch of noise made in a studio from beat boxes and people with no musicianship or vocal talent today is your day.
I love great guitar, drums, bass and singing without distortion.
Today they change their voices cause they suck or they over sing, it is terrible. At least pop music is terrible there are some great
bands out their like Black Top Mojo, Love and Death, Demon Hunter, Iron and Wine etc but you never hear this on the radio. You
hear Katy Perry and frickin' Taylor Swift. This shit sucks ballz.
