what is modern rock anything after the 90s, or from the 00s to the 10s,, anything after the 80s is modern rock, if then...hmmm, some Jellyfish (band) is a ncie 90s pop/rock/surf band, maybe some Foo Fighters, they have alot of energy and you just feel inspired listening to Dave Grohl singing, , Pearl Jam are nice and have some good albums from the 90s and 00s, also Jeff Buckley album Grace should be listend to, great eclectic rock album with raga touches-------------

I think most of the modern bands I listen to are kind of "out there", but here's a couple which aren't all that weird: Yo La Tengo - New Jersey trio that's been around for 20+ years, very Velvet Underground-influenced Field Music -- sharp British pop rock that's intelligent but not wimpy. Reminds me of 10cc and XTC a bit. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I really like Kings of Leon sometimes. I honestly don't know much modern rock even though I'm in college and surrounded by it every day.
Most of the rock I listen to is stuff from the '90s - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, etc. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

I listen to a bit of modern rock, but most of it washes over me as "stuff I've heard before". Of the Top-40 bands Biffy Clyro, 30 Seconds to Mars and My Chemical Romance can produce albums that interest me, as does Muse of course.

yes evreything after the 80s is so called Modern rock, even on 2020 or 2030 the term modern rock defins 90s rock, 90s rock = modern rock, no mather how far you are removed from it, you can say the term modern rock can be marked with the releases of Pearl Jams Ten and Nirvanas Nevermind, with the subsequent wave fo bands who wanted to follow that sound or to alternativeate their own sound, like Smashnig Pumpkins, Radiohead, Janes Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls, the heyday of grunge and brit pop/rock can be said to be the defining terms of modern rock, becouse they defined the sound of the modern rock groups, Oasis, Blur, the Hives, the Cardigens, somehow you can also put in the mid 80s synth pop who moved towards alternative rock also like a-ha who had a alternative rock sound as well as synth pop sound, Talk Talk who moved from 80s synth to 90s post rock/alternative rock, Tears for Fears who went for a more artsy aporach, with Seeds of Love,, lots of undercurrents which would help define modern rock -------------

^ Oh well, I wasn't aware of that "modern rock" is a subgenre. However, it sounds a quite self-indulgent definition, because the word "modern" has already several definitions, and there should always be music that is more modern than something that is older, even if the latter has been called "modern" in its time. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/osmotapioraihala/sets" rel="nofollow - Composer - Click to listen to my works! |

True, but isn't that how someone creates something new?

Yes, yes, I'm not questioning the use of the genre definition, but the definition itself. What if I made music that is "modern" and "rock" in the 2020's? Could I claim it to belong to "modern rock"?

This sounds difficult, but I don't think it is - when you have something simple like the three instrument line-up of guitar, bass and drum that can be either Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Police, Nirvana, Green Day, Blink-182, Placebo, Manic Street Preachers, Biffy Clyro, Wolfmother or Muse without sounding like each other (or anyone else) then it's not their influences and inspirations we're listening to, nor is it just those three instruments.

A few people have mentioned My Chemical Romance. What are your thoughts on their 2010 release, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. My only other MCR album is their debut, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, which I didn't like much on first listen, but grew to like it later. (Only had that one for a couple of years.) Anyway, I found Danger Days to be one of the most disappointing albums I've ever bought. Very mediocre pop-rock songs that sound like they were written by a record producer, not a rock band.

THE BLACK PARADE. My favourite album ever, prog or not. It's just fantastic. I don't like anything else they've done, although the others have occasional good songs. Danger Days is my second favourite from them, but got bad on the second side. The only thing bad about the Black Parade is Teenagers. Swap that with Heaven Help Us (a b-side) and it would have been perfection. It's like epic and conceptual and quite dark in places. Call it emo if you want, but it's brilliant. It's nothing like their first two albums by the way, much more melodic.

When you say modern rock bands I am assuming ones post-2000 and not on PA. I really got into the Arctic Monkey's first 3 albums. Clever lyrics and mostly energetic and very, very catchy stuff. I was hooked. Their 4th and current album however Suck it and See is a major disappointment IMHO. They had the opportunity to "do a Radiohead" and go in a different direction but they just went backwards on this release. Here's hoping their next album is different....and as good as the first 3. |

Been a fan of them since their 3rd album or so (Bad Moon Rising), and it's been fascinating to see their growth over the years. When they moved from SST to Enigma/Blast First (a semi-major label) for Daydream Nation, I remember how surprised I was. They were the last band I expected to enter the mainstream, they were so noisy and uncommercial. At the time, I think the Replacements and Husker Du were the only punk bands I'd seen go to major labels. But boy, did Sonic Youth take that mandate and run with it. They blazed a trail that made it possible for artsy punk-inspired music to infiltrate the mainstream (Nirvana's the obvious example: Sonic Youth convinced Geffen to sign them). Sonic Youth continued to grow and refine their sound throughout the nineties, but honestly I haven't heard a lot in the last 10 years that impressed me. Which are your favorites?

I love Mesmerize and Hypnotize. After having those for a while I went and bought their debut. Disappointing. Too chaotic or something. Decided to try Toxicity anyway (actually just listened to this today). I can see why its a very highly rated album, but still not quite my thing. But I haven't listened too it that many times, so perhaps I'll grow into it. ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

Great to see another Sonic You fan on PA! Favourites? Daydream Nation, Dirty, Sister, Goo (In order). Were they touring around the states in the early 80's? Unless your from New York, I always thought that they didn't get that much recognition outside of the city until around Sister or so.To be quite honest I haven't heard anything after The Washing Machine album.  Maybe I should listen to the more recent material, but as you said, is it even that interesting? -------------

I know them for exactly 20 years now, and lost track of them about 10 years ago. But last year I got my self their last album which I never heard and it all came back to me. Looking at their discography now I see they don't have a weak album. What a great band, it's a shame they are finished.
I always wondered if they are progressive? Definitely not straight forward, but not progressive. Great use of keys and piano though. |

I first discovered them during a time when I was exploring a lot of punk/hardcore albums based on the band's name and album cover. I didn't really have a way to "look up" these bands, so I'd just go into the punk section of the store and get what looked interesting. At first, "Bad Moon Rising" was a disappointment because it was more noise than punk, but it grew on me. I remember a year or two later they came to my town in concert (at that time, Miami Florida), but I didn't go - it would have been around the EVOL or Sister album I think. As far as post-Washing Machine albums go, I can't say there is anything I've heard that's as strong as Washing Machine, but honestly, they're all pretty good. "A Thousand Leaves" is worth getting - it was the first in a series of albums that relied more on lengthy, contemplative grooves with guitar interplay rather than feedback and dissonance. That approach eventually got a little old, but it's still pretty fresh on Leaves. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

^ Thanks for the recommendations. I know this is old news, but I recently just found about Thurston's and Kim's split. I was those surprised when I read on Spin.com. Those guys were together from an extremely young age.-------------
