What has happened to music in the past twenty years?

Sun Oct 31, 2004 11:00 pm

It seems as though music has been dyeing out in the past twenty years. Music has turned to sounding bloody great to sounding like twelve year old girls on helium. Name a band that has started in the past ten years that actually sounds good (in my opinion), and I will give you 5K NP. What happened to bands that made great music such as Black Sabbath or The Jimi Hendrix Experience? Those bands rocked, and no band today can top the music of yesterday.

How about Linkin Park?

The darkness is good, not sure when they started. But I think it was recently.

Spice Girls started a while back. They sounded good as well. Now give me my 5k.

I forgot about Linkin Park. I will give you your 5K if you give me your screen name on Neo.

The Offspring started around 94', I believe, and they're pretty good.

The Roots just started recently, and Cake and O.A.R started around '90. While meanwhile, in a prison cell south of Detroit, ICP captured a new style :roll:

Oh!
Matterbug beat me! As soon as I read the first post, I thought "Linkin Park".

Ok, how about Matchbox Twenty, they've been around since 1996.

It depends what kind of music you are into.
Chart music is a load of crap now all the bands sound the same and they all do bad cover versions.

But I don't pay any attention to the charts.
There is lots of bands I like that came out in the last ten years ish
There is stuff like
Blink 182
The Offspring
Reel Big Fish
New Found Glory
Bowling for soup
Less than Jake
Spunge
AFI
Feeder
Ash
HIM

And stuff like

Slipknot
Murderdolls
Disturbed
36 Crazy fists
Saliva
Marylin Manson
Korn
Drowning Pool
Ill Nino
Hatebreed
ICP
Twiztid
Muse
System of a down

Rancid, Propaghandi, Screeching Weasel... You can't say that no bands make music as good as bands use to. There are bands today that are good, but not mainstream ones. Now, don't think I don't like bands from the '70s and '80s, because that would be a very false assumption, but there are actually bands today that I like more.

Ooh. I should probably throw Sum 41 in here for good measure.

MUSE! To be honest, they're amazing. Linkin Park and Muse are the two best I've ever seen live. And floella... I love you! Bet you didn't see that declaration of love coming, did ya? ;) :P Anyway, you've got great taste in tunes girl!
