  1. The 60s were probably even better. Discovering rock.

    When I watch the movie, The Boat That Rocked, I just wished I had lived back then.

    Go back to the 50s and start with Roy Orbison, Elvis, Jay Hawkins. Three people still inspiring and influencing rock today. I'd say those lent a well-needed start to rock and roll. Now, it's just pure crap that passes for the so-called 'title'. Of course there's some great stuff out there, just not obvious.

    The Boat That Rocked....ah yes. Some great music comes out of that era. And of course the rise and sad fall of widespread use of pirate radio. Although....we could always start on the British Invasion.
  3. I think there's exciting music in the future too though... I have a feeling that in the future all this crappy artificial music of today will lead to the rebirth of punk/grunge.
  4. I can see the current interest in dub step actually providing the way to more industrial-style grunge. I've always been interested in industrial music and think it's just great sound.

    Every 5-10 years a new trend comes out and influences that generation for the next half-decade. 1995 - 2000 it was more like trip-hop and roots-rock. It'd be nice to see trip-hop, funk and industrial get a real boost if not mainstream in the next 3 years.
  5. There will for sure be loads of people hearing the music of today that will eventually say "FUCK THIS" and just want to make some good old rock noise.

    Being in a room with other people, just playing instruments and making noise together is a fucking awesome feeling.
  6. I'd love to jam with a band and do some old-school circa-'77 garage revival rock.

    Something like early Aerosmith or Stones where they were all in the room together. I actually wonder whether you'd be interested in Keith Richards' first solo album or Joe Perry's 2009 one; they've got that sound.


  7. This is awesome.
  8. The sound of 1997. I like it! This is what I thought you might enjoy:

  9. I may see Refused live this summer if I go to that festival I'm thinking of.
  10. Ace of Spades Motörhead
    I Want to Break Free Queen
    Paint It Black The Rolling Stones
    Cherokee Europe
    Hotter Than Hell KISS
    2 Minutes to Midnight Iron Maiden

    Just thought I'd give you a sample of Rockklassiker. These are the five latest songs.
  11. ^ The more successful decent festivals are (and not this dance-crap this Skrillex guy thinks is any good) the more it shows promoters and bands people still love and want to enjoy live music.

    Down here, I think in the last five years 50% of small venues have closed or not able to do live music due to restrictions. The ones that are still able to just don't get the bands or have to shut it off by 10pm.

    Wait - Hotter Than Hell by KISS. Hahahaha!!! Best left unsaid, although Alive! kicks some serious live (but is it live?) ass.
  12. Damn I feel like listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit now... time to pause the radio channel and listen to that on Spotify instead.
