The Future of Rock (not just prog)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Unfortunately a lot of terrible music, the first to come to mind being Emo seems to be in it's prime. Perhaps eventually talented musicians such as The Mars Volta will start to take the forground of the scene. I have noticed a lot of my peers being into some of the classic stuff lately, so a change in thr right direction seems very possible.

	So, what do you think? I think that people's attitudes about rock are changing. I think they're changing slowly, but they're changing nonetheless. The fact that a group like the Mars Volta is the cover feature of Rolling Stone magazine certainly says something. I know that many of my friends are reaching into the past to dig up good music, and have tired of a lot of what is out there today.
