Ok, I've been reading through this thread and I'd like to throw in my $.02. I've seen a number of posts that mention the Beatles as a band that the individual dislikes. I've also seen the Doors, the Dead, CCR, the'Stones and a couple of other bands from "MY" generation. Now it's my turn; I haven't heard a band in the last 10 years that I considered innovative enough to waste my money on; all the old bands you folks have mentioned were at least that; innovative. I'm no huge Beatles fan, I never liked the Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead had a few tunes I liked, I DO like the Doors, CCR was red-neck rock; I'm not defending the bands, but at least they were breaking new ground- the new stuff I've heard recently just plain stinks; lousy vocals, weak playing and inane lyrics. And as far as Zepplin goes, EVERY "metal" band since the first Zepplin album are Zepplin wanna-be's. Led Zepplin was a revelation; NO ONE had ever sounded like that; of course, at the time, there were folks that said that Zepplin was great in the studio, but they couldn't play their stuff live, well that theory got shot in the ass real quick; Zepplin was as good live as they were on vinyl. I really feel sorry for music lovers today; there's nothing new under the sun, and as long as you guys keep buying second-rate crap, there won't be; don't support musicians who just go through the motions, demand innovation.
