Good music passes the test of time. The music of the 60s-80s has passed the test of time at a whopping 100%, A++. I just don't see today's music being relevant in 15 years.

Which one? MAAD City?
The Scottish following is rabid. There were half a dozen flags and a ton of people dressed in Scottish apparel in a venue of 750-1000
Most fun live show I’ve ever been to is Flaming Lips. If you ever want to go see an incredible show...even if you’re not particularly fond of their music...don’t miss them. It’s kinda one of those shows that might be more fun with a little something extra:
A buddy of mine got us passes to watch the sound check and meet with them before the show. They are genuinely nice guys. It wasn’t like we were asking all the questions about them. They were really interested in chatting with us (it seemed, anyway). We saw them at The Riviera here in Chicago and during the sound check, when no one is there to muffle the sound, it’s so loud it literally hurts your ears. Wayne Coyne saw I was uncomfortable and ran over, gave me some earplugs, and said “Be careful!”. He seemed genuinely concerned.0
Correct. That’s from DAMN his new album. Great jam. I still like Backseat Freestyle and Swimming Pool from MAAD City the best.
Great article. He is the current GOAT for technical skills.

Interesting. Has thats 70s approach to music -- David Bowie meets Electric Horseman meets 2000s
It’s just a WILD show. The videos on YouTube don’t do it justice.
Not a fan.Replace Mumford with Kanye West and we’ve got a deal.

2010s, ------------
face it, the Golden Age of rock was over by the mid 80s, (with Live Aid to cap off the golden age), with the 60s having the best diversity.
I'm older than you and I like hip hop too. I like the old better than the new, but probably just cause I listened to it more. I like Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.Not at all. Between Future, Post Malone, Kendrick Lamar, et al, this is the best hip hop has been since Dre and Snoop. Yes I’m almost 40 and love hip hop. So what?
Edit: I forgot Chance the Rapper. Sublime talent.
I've just recently started appreciating Alabama Shakes. Anyone like them?
Absolute. I have everything of theirs so far.I've just recently started appreciating Alabama Shakes. Anyone like them?
Seriously? Neil Diamond?

This is your first post that is laid out in a way that I can follow easily, so props.
I'm curious, if you thought Metallica was good in the 80s and 90s, did you also like Tool, Megadeath, Rage Against the Machine, etc.? I used to like most of those and thought Tool put on a decent show recently when I saw them in June.
I tend to go on brief stints where I soak up 90s alternative, though Nirvana has gotten old to me. But, Offspring, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush (Sixteen Stone was one of the last truly good albums where I was happy to own and listen to the entire CD) bring back good memories. The only full albums since I've bought were Linkin Park's first two, which were phenomenal.
I had three daughters, two were into top 40 type and one emo. At least as far as modern music, they all have a good understanding of classic rock. There is only one group all 5 (wife included) of us like, Simon and Garfunkel.That’s your problem if you’re sticking to Top 40. Let’s take it by decade (top 3 for each):
Music is better now than it was 10 years ago.
- The 1980s: U2, Bon Jovi, AC/DC
- The 1990s: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Dr. Dre / Snoop Dogg
- The 2000s: Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, and Dave Matthews Band (straddles the 90s)
- The 2010s: The Avett Brothers, Ryan Adams, and Future. And I really love Sturgill Simpson.
So do you only watch old movies too? Because I doubt that’s the case and thus negates your comment about not relating to modern art.Let me add, I always told my kids I should not like their music. I am an older white male, something made today should not be relevant to me. Any art should speak to a specific audience. Bob Seger's new album probably has me as its audience. Anyone in their 20's should not be writing with me in mind, not if the music is meant to have social relevance. Where am I wrong in that?

Talking strictly 90s, Seven Mary Three had some damn good songs. They came along at the wrong time. They were more rock as opposed to the alternative and “grunge” that was popular. Also, Dishwalla’s “Pet Your Friends” album was pretty underrated. SilverChair and Better Than Ezra had some good singles.
Thought I heard Dishwalla was still playing on XM the other week
This is why music is so great. There is truly no band I find more annoying and loathsome than Bush (okay, maybe Creed), but I know lots of people who identify with their music as the soundtrack of their coming of age. That's cool. Music is just about as personal an experience as religion/spirituality. Most musicians are exploring the same big idea themes in some shape or another, but there are lots of ways to get to that big spiritual epiphany. So, what you find in Bush, I may find in Ryan Adams or OutKast, or My Chemical Romance or Austin Antoine or Tenement or Young the Giant or Pavement or Cross Canadian Ragweed or PE or...you get the idea.
