I've gone country!

I admit I listen to a lot rap myself, only the good stuff though. I listen to some rock also.

But you guys want to know a good band? Check out Maroon 5, I love there music.

 

Alright, if you guys are what has been phrased as "fine music connoisseurs", then you would be able to recognize that there are great aspects to all types of music. I love rap and hip hop when I need that sexy energy, I listen to rock when I am chilling, and I like country (a recent development) when I need to feel like music actually relates to real life (esp. b/c I live in the south). I listen to classical music as I played violin for years, I listen to jazz sometimes too. Music should be appreciated in its many different art forms.

 

And as for that Brad Paisley song, everyone here knows he is talking about me!

 

An entirely new meaning to the phrase "One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila floor!"

 

Plenty of them out there. Personally, I think 90's rap was bad. Real bad. Todays pop rap is worse. Thing is, back in the 60's and 70's music didn't have near as many artists and that's why it's hard to see bands that will be timeless these days.
But bands like Thrice, Brand New,Underoath and even Taking Back Sunday will be the new schooler's classics. Last gen had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
Then you've got the metal kids. Slipknot's been here and isn't going anywhere. Same with Mudvayne.
The talent pool is just too big for it's own good in a way. back in the 70's everyone was listening to the same 20 artists. Not much to choose from so you'd listen to a single band for months before going to another.
Now, I forget bands that I even like because I find a new band I like every other day.

Indie Rock
Alternative
Emo/Screamo/post-hardcore
Metal
Pop-Rock

So much depth just within rock alone. Same with other genres. I don't like dated music much, but most people stick with what they knew in their teens-twenties it seems. It's hard for me to go back and listen to nirvana, silverchair, etc now with all the new stuff I hear though. Just too much of it.

 

That's an interesting point, and I really hadn't thought of it that way.

I guess I just think of The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd... and I think of listening to those bands with friends and girls in college.

I'm just wondering what will survive from the 2000s, that 18 or 19 year old college students will be listening to in 2025?

Maybe it's just me, and I just like the classic stuff more than my peers.

 

Some people just can never let go of nastalgia. Teens and twenties are peak periods in the lives of most.

I've had the misfortune of having to jam with a guy in his late forties/early fifties...he can't keep up at all with anyone because he's STILL listening to early Dylan and early Beatles.
