It depends what genre you listen to. There are plenty of bands that are huge and "wow" in their genre, just like those repetitive bands you keep mentioning were big in their genre of rock(now classic rock), so get over it. Get over the past!Quote:

Radiohead just to name a band that has influenced a lot of bands and isn't a "clone".Quote:

They're a good band- but hmm.. I guess it's like a defining feature in the band? Hard to put into words, I suppose a great band- ie great musicians and a great sound:Quote:

Bonzo: Incredibly drummer- #2 of all time - I'd say #1 but bah :P
There's a fair few of modern bands I like and would listen too but I don't really see any as "wow that's incredible" with the exception of foo fighters/aerosmith/white stripes/the stones (if i'm classing them as still alive- i'm sure they're doing voodoo to keep themselves alive :P)
Also neil you was telling me hendrix was a crap guitarist yesterday and that you could probably do better than him so hmm :rolleyes:

So if we're gonna go onto great musician(s) making up a band to be incredible/influencing then lets do it that way.Quote:

Green Day - All round good, may have "sold out" but early stuff was incredible.
I'll come up with more tomorrow, I'm off now.
Gym class heroes are growing on me and i'm hating myself because of it :(:PQuote:
