Yes, we get it, when everyone was high, drunk, getting in fights with other band members and making the lamest music video ever, it was much more fun. But get with the times. Music changes, it doesnt make it worse.
don't forget those scandelous sex stories involving underage girls.Quote:

Lol, sorry are you telling me to get with the times? I'll do and like whatever music I want. =/ Just because it's old, doesn't mean you can't like it anymore. Jeez, my nan is old but I still like her. Also, all I said in my post was 'Was that a joke too?' Who said anything muisc changes or making it worse? :rolleyes: Oh and by the way, some of the music videos back then were amazing and alot better than they are now.Quote:

What's wrong with Hip Hop? And you are being incredibly biased. Just because you like Led Zepp/Hendrix it means they must have done more for their genre, get over yourself!Quote:

They've had such an impact on music, album sales, inspired many people, (not too sure if the whole of the band has) but jimmy page is in the music hall of fame.
So meh..
By the way i'm not disrespecting blink-182- they're a great band, I just don't think you can compare the two to be honest.
Yeah but Classic Rock/that type of rock isn't alive. It's just rated highly upon people who are living in the past/barely listen to new music "because it doesn't compare".
And also, what is wrong with Hip Hop? I'm pretty sure you made a sarcastic comment about it.
Classic rock is still alive sort of: White stripes/Rolling stones (they'll die in about 100 years)/aerosmith etc (sorry very tired so can't give good examples)Quote:

Also hip-hop is ok... I prefer old school rap/hip hop like run-dmc and all, 50 cent/eminem/eurgh.. *jumps off cliff* :P
I was talking to people who say "music then was better than it is now"-- and if you are one of those people, yes, you do need to get with the times. Im not telling you what to listen to, that was my point in the first place actually.Quote:

So for you to say that basically people who enjoy and rate "classic rock" highly are outdated is a bit wrong.Quote:

I fail to see how White Stripes are part of this 'Classic Rock' scene? That thought just makes me laugh infact. I also fail to see how Rolling Stones are "alive" in their scene. I'm not sure whether they are still composing music but if they are then it shows how "reknowned" they are for their newer music. Hell you can rate Rolling Stones highly for their style of music, but it's all the past songs (Sympathy for the devil was a tune) and if they are still creating music then they really do fail to grab much attention from it. I must agree Enter Shikari are original and it's very experimental, but just because a lot of bands/artists fit in the same genre doesn't make them any less original. Queen, Led Zepp, Status Quo and bands like that all fall under the genre of 'classic rock' but that doesn't mean each band isn't original.Quote:

Also where did I ever say Queen Status Quo Led zepp weren't all different from another? Your argument is really flawed :S
how can you have a modern style classic rock.
i thought classic rock was a term to describe rock bands of old, not an actual genre
Yeah, You cant say led zep or pink floyd or whoever didn't influenece any classic rock bands because it's just a label for 60's\70's rock bands.Quote:

The music industry, yes, you can argue has changed. The 90's and the internet changed a lot of things, and ever since file sharing has exploded, the music industry has returned to a pre-Beatles mindset where bands are judged almost solely by singles. Which does lead to repetitiveness on the radio, because they go with what works.
But if you dig a little deeper, you'll see that right now we have some of the most diverse and creative music ever. The only thing that has changed, or "gotten worse", is the top layer.
classic rock is gay.
anyone could say that about punk?Quote:
