My point was, who's making good Rock 'n' Roll today
Absolutely not! Rock n Roll is forever! You have to understand that it is still evolving. There are some excellent newer bands like Alter Bridge which was mentioned. Some of the great masters like Kansas put out a new LP last year. Yes, most of the old bands have lost a member, maybe two. With the newer digital radio stations on the web you can listen all kinds of stuff that is awesome. Just step outside your comfort zone a little and check out some newer variations. I found out about Progressive rock and Symphonic Metal from an insert from an old Kansas CD. There is some stuff I never heard of that is incredible. Go on Youtube and check out Royal Hunt, "Paper Blood", Within Temptation "The Silent Force", Shadow Gallery"Carved in Stone", Symphony X "Iconoclast", Nightwish "Imaginaerium", which is Goth Metal. Don't forget that some albums are timeless like Metallica's "S & M". There is most likely a shitload of stuff from the great masters that was never played on the "Pay for Play" radio stations. I just found there is a Swedish? band I believe called Sabaton who has cannons and tanks & machine guns on stage and each song they record is about a famous battle in history. It is amazing stuff. I have a bunch of stations on Pandora that are great. Take it from me, a 66 year old fart, yer as young as you feel & you ain't heard nuthin yet! Don't even get me started on Classic Country and Motown as well as Classical!
Believe me Aeronet, if you could spend just One day with me, you'd leave smiling and astounded with your ears ringing with new found joy! Just because it ain't played on commercial radio stations, doesn't mean it's not out there. Plus, because it's kind of obscure, it doesn't get air played to death!
Well, that's enough for now. By the way, there is fairly recent thread on here of what are you listening to or something like that with a shitload of good stuff,
(unofficial what are you listening to*) thread in General Discussions started this Feb 14, 2018 by Metaldad. I know, lots of oldies there but also much of which I never heard of either.
All I can say is "LONG LIVE ROCK!"
