Lets face facts here, the music industry today is as good as, if not better than it’s been for many years (in the U.K at least i don’t know about the U.S) Indie rock is thriving and is branching out into many exciting new styles (namely electro indie). Plus some of the old guard are kicking out some brilliant songs (Oasis and Manic Street Preachers being the Britsh ones and Foo fighters and RHCP for America)

Of the new bands Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Arcade Fire, Klaxons and Maximo Park are the big standouts for me.

But if we are honest, no bands today can compare to the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream or the Eagles.

My question is can just one band come around and bring us back to the good old days of Rock n’ Roll, because if someone doesn’t do it fast then i will be forced to shoulder the burden myself and form a revolutionary band to change the face of music.
Oh i’m going to do it, it’s just a question of someone getting there before me.

The main problem is i know countless guitarists (i’m a bassist and a guitarist myself) but not a single drummer i’d want to be in a band with.
Rock is not dead, the only form of rock that is dead is punk, that is because there can be no believable punk artists anymore because there are not that many people in western society that have to endure hardship anymore.

Rock is still very much alive my friend.
I agree with some people that it seems to be a lack of artistic talent or real flair. Which songwriters today can claim to be as good as Page/Plant, Townsend/Entwhistle or Barret/Waters?
I’m not knocking the new bands, as it’s my generation (i’m 16) and i love the bands around now.

But i can’t pretend that any of them are as good as Led Zeppelin.

One peak since then has been The Smiths, they were uncharacteristically good for most 80′s music. Morissey is one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Woah woah whoa there, when have i dissed any music here, i’ve clearly stated that i love todays music it’s the music i’m still growing up with. I quite happily listen to Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire and Maximo Park.

However any person who claims these artists are as talented as the artists of the 60′s and 70′s is either delusional or just plain stupid.

I would never dream of saying todays music is bad, read the article carefully before posting stupid remarks next time.

And in response to the comment about todays artists being on drugs, i think you will find there were more drugs in the 60′s and 70′s than today.

Jimi Hendrix took Acid (it’s what killed him in the end)

All of Led Zeppelin did Cocaine and Cannabis.

The Who did whatever they could get there hands on (the anti-depressants killed Keith Moon in thened)

Pink Floyd where on various halucenogenic drugs.

The Beatles were on Cannabis and LSD.
