Do Rock Gods exist in today’s music?

I like the first Godsmack album but can't stand them or any other music they put out after that.

Sully is the main reason.

His voice is like a low white noise hum to me.  Annoying as shit.

As far as your post I'd have to agree that eras of your youth tend to cause you pedestal musicians from it.

Which is why I chose to ambiguously choose a random era starting with the 90's and beyond, in my earlier post.  Heck, I'm old.  Born in '69, I grew up on the real rock gods.  The reason I chose the 90's as a starting point for what I consider "modern" era, is that so much was changing in that time period.  A lot of styles that used to be the norm were getting pushed aside in favor of "new flavor".  For example, the grunge movement was huge, took the Nation by storm.  However, seems most of the good artists from that sect seemed to die off, typically from drug/emotional issues.  To me, a Rock god is someone that it is not only talented, but can stand the test of time, both as a musician and as a person.

(Yeah, I know, a lot of people are going to point to artists like Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, but who knows what they could have shown the world through their talents if they had only been stronger humans.)
