This is something I've noticed. Music in general has gotten shittier and less .....musical over the years, I mean what happened to the days when you had to be good to get anywhere in the music business. These days most mainstream music is just manufactured shit.
I would have to agree with this thread, though. Nowadays there's not a damn good thing in the mainstream world, except Modest Mouse. But back in the day, at least they had smashing pumpkins and pearl jam. The other bands listed, I don't like, however.But today it's all crap. Evenescence, Linkin Park, Shinedown... I guess you can't blame the people who listen to it, though. They listen to whatever clear channel picks for them. Want something better, you have to find it yourself. INDIE MUSAKS.
i think you'd like dream theater.
It's just my opinion here; but how can you complain about when you listen to bands like Alterbridge.
