Nirvana is like 15 years old.  That's like calling 1970 music new in 1985.

Because early '90s rock is still popular.

today's music does suck. i think the 60's and 70's was THE best Rock n Roll. Ever. Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix... Today's music is all the same, heavy, chords, and screaming to the same riffs over and over again. Talent has definetley dropped over the past few decades.

Marilyn Manson. But then again to me it's like comparing apples to oranges. They aren't the same genre at all in my opinion.

Geez I'm trying to remember being 13 or 14, Ha!  When I was that age a nice album was a great gift, so realizing that they are not that readily available or playable I suppose a CD would be nice.  One that would be of a band I like and perhaps makes me think of you when played.

I agree 100%.  These bands today are all toe gazers, constantly depressed.  Dio has a very good new album out.  I'd kill for a Grand Funk Railroad reunion.  The problem is a lot of these older bands have just one original member.   I saw Iron Butterfly about 10 years ago and the singer was the only original member and he was so smashed he could barely stand up.  Bring back the NWOBHM.  Tygers of Pan Tang, Scorpions, Accept just to name a few.  Rock on and Rock hard.

Music is created just like art.  Look back, and you will find such old old songs that we still share, appreciate or even remake through the years.  These are to be treasured. And we thank the creators, for setting these songs to life, that at one point in time, we hear and enjoy. Even with todays' technology, the true beauty of good music is not easily created. Copied, yes, distributed, yes, imitated, yes.... but created, no.  I feel this way for many solo singers and groups from many era, eg, U2, Sting, the Beatles, Carpenters and even the simplest tune of twinke star from young Mozart.

I liked the late 80s hard rock/heavy metal, but hated all of those hair bands that wore tons of makeup, but couldn't play.\n\nI'm thankful that Nirvana's success was the death-knell for a lot of junky bands, but unfortunately, a lot of really good bands met their demise too.\n\nWhen I first heard Pearl Jam, I realized that I heard it 20 years prior. There was nothing original or new there, just the look of the guys playing it.\n\nI also liked Aerosmith more when they were all drinking and strung out. They just don't write 'em like they used to.

Today's music sucks so much because: \n1) Record labels are looking for hits, not albums.  \n2) "Talent" must always LOOK marketable.  \n3) Too much of the recording industries' troubles are being blamed on "illegal downloading", rather than taking the responsibility themselves for putting out crappy music.\n4) ALL (yes, ALL) new rock acts today have nothing new to offer.  Everything put out today is a ripoff of 90's alt-rock. (Example - Nickelback, Staind, etc...EVERY song uses that same minor-key harmony that originated with Alice In Chains).\n5) Most people are sheep and will listen to whatever a record company shoves in their face.\n6) Nearly every song has the same pattern...a light opening, then blaring guitars midway through the first verse, then a catchy and annoying chorus.  In other words, it's PREDICTABLE!\n\nOverall, there's a BIG lack of originality in today's music.  The "talent" isn't talented...just good at ripping off whatever has already been done.  I understand having influences, but these bands literally play the SAME thing.  As a huge music fan, I've been largely disappointed since around 1998.

This is a question for music, not politics\n\nBut Sup Pop records has pumped out some good bands, like Nirvana

NO.  i don't think today's current mainstream music will EVER be the classics of tomorrow.  The Beatles, Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors:  They wrote songs for themselves and if other people liked it..Great but it was always to please themselves first.  They wrote from the heart about thier experiences and we all related to them.  You could hear Janis Joplin's pain in "Piece of my heart" and I dare anyone to listen to the Beatles "Day in The Life" and not be moved at all.  Today's mainstream music..is just that..mainstream.  These are the artists that make music for money not personal satisfaction.  9 times out of 10 they can't even make thier own music; they sample from the real classics, Queen, Led Zepplin and try to pass it as original.  I don't that think that in 10 years I'll be in Wal-Mart hearing Beyonce's "Bootylicious" on the overhead radio.  I think that the Classics of yesteryear will NEVER be repeated.  I'm 29 today but 30 tomorrow and I'm am a white chick :0)

That was a real dead spot in music (not that it's gotten much better since). Oasis and Third Eye Blind were a couple of the better bands to enjoy popularity during that period.

I agree....don't like most "modern rock" nearly as much as the 70s classic rock bands!  Led Zep, Steppenwolf, Hendrix, Seger, Fleetwood Mac (are they rock or lite rock tho lol), Allman Bros, Bad Company...oh it doesn't get any better. :)

I'm just like you, but I'm 17. Rap??? They call that "music"??? And talent??? It's talking in rhymes! I think music back in the 60's and 70's was the best ... it actually ment something! Like The Beatles. Brilliantly composed and sometimes floaty. I love that. Ever herd "Revolution #9"? Now that's weird, but I still like it. Led Zeppelin is my fav. Brilliant, talented music with a meaning. Sounds cool too. But yeah, I agree with you 100 and 10% on that. Imagine what modern music will sound like 10 years from now! That's a scary thought!

Yea they r great.  Their new album is awesome.  Its hard to believe they r still around after all these years, and their career has never been better.

Okay, most of those songs are 20-30 years old.\n\nMore recently Michaels has been known for other things, like gay sex in public and drug overdoses on famous Paris roads.

INXS, although they are kind of a 1990s band too... now they need to have a tv show to find help!  Also The Clash, Blondie, and Cyndi Lauper.  Isn't it funny how sometimes you haven't heard some of those songs for 15 years, but when you do, you can sing along all the words like it was yesterday?  Getting old, I guess.  Thanks for the opportunity to reminisce.  Oh, yeah, the Little River Band too.
