It's crazy how many pro teams in all sports have to resort to 80's music as their walk out/run out music. When is music going to catch up? Damn it this bourbon is good!
OK, in my best old man voice
- Thread starter The Cooterpoot
- Start date
It's because there's no rock music these days worth spitting on
After grunge in th 90s, it was over. Some love Creed etc. but it's been nonexistent. Too many suicides and crap.
FooFighters might disagree.
Green Day, Killers, Linkin Park, and countless other rock bands have dominated charts and airwaves in the many decades since grunge.
What in the 17?
These guys are pretty good. Just that bands like them don’t get much exposure except social media.
I still owe them a few CDs. Think I took the introductory offer 3 or 4 times.
Foo Fighters? I don’t think so. There’s still some really good bands out there today but they’re not as commercially successful & you have to search for them.
Too bad we are stopping making pennies
I'll allow Foo Fighters & Lincoln Park. The rest are pop ****
I often say when talking about music that all my heroes are dead... Except for Eddie Vedder and Steve Grohl.
all effing trash, except FF....you think that **** can hold a candle to some of the greats from the 70's and 80's like ac/dc, GnR, Skynyrd, The Stones, CCR, The Eagles, Tom Petty, The Who, Metallica, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Queen, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Halen and the list goes on and on......

And it’s not even close. Although Dave was pretty good in his 1st stint with Van Halen. And there’s no comparison I the last 40 years. But even in Dave’s prime Sammy was still better.
Saw Sammy last August and he's still bad ***. Joe Satriani isn't EVH but he's one badass guitarists.....
Foo Fighters is a flash in the pan?
Green day is a flash in the pan?
You need to look up what that term means.
If you don't like em personally, cool thats fine, but flashes in the pan is an absurd comment to apply to them.
It's absurd to apply to The Killers and Linkin Park too, to be clear. A cursory look at the timeline of hits, number of hits, and discography span shows 'flash in the pan' isn't an applicable claim.
This thread reminds me of my Dad talking about how ****** 80s and 90s rock was compared to the 60s and 70s when I was a kid.
Goalpost shifting.
This isn't a competition and I wasnt claiming '97-'25 is a better period for rock music than '70-'90 or whenever.
A claim as made that after grunge, rock music was over. I disagreed and listed only a few of the many rock groups that have sustained success since grunge ended.
Once more- I was never claiming it's better than the period you cited, and this isn't a competiton.
No need to shift the goalposts.
OK, so the issue here is that you don't know what the term you have used even means.
That's unfortunate, since you even had an opportunity to look it up after I pointed out how you seemed to use it incorrectly the first time.
Why would it matter that Grohl was in Nirvana? That has nothing to do with the claim I initially disagreed with or any oft he follow up posts and responses.
Cool man, you named a band that had a musician that is now in a band I named.
Go you for doing that!**
You left out Alice In Chains....I'll put them up against any of the other grungers
It never ceases to amaze me what glfr will argue about.
I’m relatively new here. He is the worst. And Goat fella
Nickelback had a pretty solid run in 2000's
It never ceases to amaze me what Stephen A level hot takes will be spouted off by random posters on here.
And you’re here to make sure it’s corrected asap**
