What's that? You say rock didn't die in the '80s because new kinds of rock had been born to replace the old rock from previous decades?Coito ergo sum wrote:there was a lot of rock born in the 1980s.
Interesting.

And as for this whole "Who is today's Beatles?" bollox, they're right here.
Or any other tame, inoffensive, la-di-da boy band shite you can think of out now.
They are the perfect successors to The Beatles. A bunch of squeaky clean boys playing derivative pop music to a bunch of screaming girls who can't decide which one is their favourite. In fact it's arguable they are now bigger than The Beatles which, using argument ad populum Beatle-fan logic, means they're the best thing ever.Coito ergo sum wrote:That's the Beatles of the 2010's?

Dude, several rock bands have already been named in this thread. If you don't feel they are worthy of "rock" status, well, I'd say that's a personal problem.

So, what are the significant new ROCK bands now? Miley Cyrus? One Direction?
I've addressed them. The 1990s were a long time ago.Seabass wrote:Dude, several rock bands have already been named in this thread.

It's not that they're not worthy of "rock" status, it's that a 15 year old band is not evidence that rock TODAY continues to thrive. Where are the great new bands? Where is the Guns n Roses of 1986 today, within the last 3 years?
I wouldn't have cited Ozzy Osbourne or the Grateful Dead as evidence that Rock is alive and well in 1985. 1985 had its own Rock.
Sounds more like Schroedinger's cat; in which case it's quantum, not classical...Scrumple wrote:Rock is like classical. It won't die but you can't say it's alive either.
And, along with that, you also dismissed anything from the mid-2000s as too old to count as well (actually, any band from earlier than 2010).Coito ergo sum wrote:I've addressed them.
