if Kurt Cobain was still alive he would surely become emo and we would have laughed at him since a couple years now.

You have to be there when its happening. Pink Floyd in 2009 CAN'T be what is was in 1978 (thats an exemple) applicable to all the old bands that known great success in the past. You cannot recreate the magic and the marks of a specific time in history. Music is a reflect of a specific time and it can't be the same 20 years later. You had to be there. Otherwise, too bad for you.
- Well Rick Wright is dead and David Gilmour and Roger Waters are solo so yeah... '09 PF is a little dull :Pismith
- But even later Floyd (90s Gilmour era) was very good, and so is Gilmour's last solo album.ismith
- you know what i mean.
Yeah, its surely good, but its not THE thing it was at their peak.benfal99 - well, it's totally different– piper at the gates of dawn and the wall were nothing alikeismith
- I think the two 90s floyd albums were the pinnacle of david gilmour's achievements without roger watersismith

We have no real great bands anymore. In the time of internet, instant consumption and large choices. No band will leave such deep marks on people as some bands did in the 70's and 80's. Radiohead is important, but its way behind bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis or Led Zeppelin, in terms of marks leaved in history.
Iam adding like 5 to 10 new albums each week in my iTunes library... its impossible to REALLY listening to them all carefully. In the 70's when you were buying a vinyl, you were listening to it until it doesnt play anymore. You had wanted it, you really choosed it and you paid for it... And you were not buying 10 vinyl each weeks.
iPod killed the music as we knew it. Is it for the best?
- Like Andy Warhol said, everyone gets 15 minutes of fameukit
- I think it's rather futile to say something like this, when it's not even something we'll know for another 20+ years...ismith
- See, I agree in terms of Floyd, Zep, et al... but I don't think they rule out current bands.ismith
- All of those guys were heavily influenced by people before them too, but for us it's just too far removed.ismith

Yep, if Lennon hadn't died I can imagine The Beatles rockin it out in support of their 36th album (feat special guest producers Moby and Timbaland)

totally ukit.

can you imagine if Black Sabbath was still making albums now?
- Heaven & Hellismith
- They are, wtf are you talking about?TheBlueOne
- what they are still making albums??benfal99
- let me guess... it sounds like shit?benfal99
- Naw..it's quite good...I mean as long as your a Dio era fan...TheBlueOne
- http://www.youtube.c…TheBlueOne
- haha. oh, and they're on tour with cohhed and cambria. I almost went to a show in LA, kind of regret notismith
- "The Devil You Know" is one of my personal favorites of 2009 releases.blaw
- benfal990
- So Lars is the only one consistent with the facial hair?TheBlueOne

I think rock music exhausted most of its ideas. Once you wrote a really good song about most of the main subjects in life (sex, love, religion, etc), where do you go from there?
Most of what you hear now is referencing the past, so it doesn't have the same emotional impact.
- i agreebenfal99
- But those ideas weren't new in the 60s and 70s... just repackaged to be (in some cases) much more overt.ismith
- Maybe so, but it's easier to draw a line between Metallica and some modern metal band than it is from Buddy Holly to Metallicaukit
- This is way too cynical and pretty much bullshit. Lots of great music being written every day.blaw
- benfal990
Wich band are relly important these days?
Radiohead? yeah surely.
who else?
- ukit0
Think about it, the key question for a band today is what era of the 70s or 80s they are gonna steal from.
- benfal990
iam listening to a lot of independant music, some are totally awesome and really good. But are we going to remember them in 20 years? NO. Music is changing, its not cool to be popular now.
- I think I will remember Faith No More, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Beck, Flaming Lips, Massive Attack...ismith
- Sure, they may not be bands that dominated the world's interest, but I don't think that makes them any less credible.ismith
- It simply means the scope of who enjoys music has grown and changed, and will continue to over the years.ismith
- its nothing compared to mastodon such as Floyd, Genesis, Sabbath and Zeppelin.benfal99
- benfal990
it's true ukit. all the bands are now a mixed up of many things that have already been done in the 60-70-80's
- benfal990
same thing at Hollywood, they are remaking all the movies and always talk about the same damn subjects and things.
We all running in circle since 20 years or so.
- benfal990
ismith, i dont think a 20 y-o kid will buy a Flaming Lips or a Massice Attack album in 2065 ... but he will surely buy Dark Side Of the Moon.

saw them last year. was okay-ish. there were caskets that came down from the sky. and there was fire. oh metallica, they're so hardcore with their caskets. i have the worst taste in music though. i thought load and reload were good albums. the last two albums made my ears bleed.

It's OK for thing to change...it just means the era of one kind of culture is ending.
People are still making classical music these days, but do you know any of it? No one can name a classical composer anytime in the last 30 years outside of the people who follow it.
I think the music industry as it currently exists will die...I don't know what the future form of it will look like but eventually someone will get bored and come up with it.
- benfal990
yeah, we are at the end of all the cultural system. Internet changed it all. No one know how and where to go. In 5 or 10 years it should be more clear.
- benfal990
all the major records labels will die.

YouTube and GuitarHero/RockBand definitely brought back all the bedroom guitar players with their widdly widdly. So many are impressive as hell, but so many can't write a fucking song. Nice arpeggios though.

You guys should go back in time and pick up Dave Hunter's poster from Friday night. It's a 6 colour silkscreen with metallic silver, gold, and copper-gold.
