They claim to be from Antarctica and came to the US on a ship powered by crack and slave labor. :lol:

I respectfully disagree that there's no one carrying on a ZZ Top or Springsteen tradition. First of all, those guys are still out there touring themselves. (Bruce has a new "album" out as of last week).
Also, anyone saying there is no good rock music (or any good music) coming out now, I dare you to say that after you watch this on full screen with the volume UP:

Just to be clear, I made the observation that there seems to be no "new" rock music that is mainstream and gobbled up by the teens like it once was, and I'm a little surprised by that.
There will always be all types of music available somewhere. I'm sure there are places where people play music similar to what Jimmie Rodgers did in the 1920s, but its not mainstream.
Traditional country is no longer mainstream either. I notice in the country scene that Alan Jackson is still a well-known name and a big touring draw, but he hasn't had a #1 song since 2008, and his last top ten was 2009, and mainstream radio is no longer interested in traditional country, so no newcomers are filling the void.

I don't like EVERYTHING they sing but I pick what I like and make my own playlists. I also listen to a lot of Classic Rock such as the Eagles, and a lot of classic country from Patsy Cline, Waylon, Johnny, and yep, Willie too! :tiphat:
I've seen Collective Soul live 5 times and I'd go again in a heartbeat.. Of course slightly dependent on venue (acoustics), but in a good place they sounds as good as on CD, and they're fun to watch.LazyARanch":rs9jqb2h said:I listen to a lot of rock music, don't like the real hard head-banging stuff but I do like Disturbed (watch the video for their cover of The Sounds of Silence), Collective Soul, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, Audioslave, The Black Keys, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, Imagine Dragons, Redlight Kings, Pop Evil and Papa Roach to name a few.

New music is like a cross over of pop and hip hop or rock and hip hop or rap. It's like it all got mass produced and ghettoized. Have no interest in it. Then the new country is also mass produced crap. Don't like much country after the year 2000. I like Jason Aldean and Justin Moore but very few other new country artists - Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt are like barely disguised rap and hip hop music - disgusting. Bro country gets so boring and old. Then mass produced electronic brad paisley, Tim McGraw, Kenny chesney, Keith urban stuff is a complete snore. I don't care if I never hear another song from them again. Even the ones that are supposed to be not like the others still have that overly produced sound like Eric church or Dierks bentley. And I can't stand that no talent only got a singing gig cuz of who is daddy is yuppie country pop thomas Rhett uggh.

Add a bit of religion and a flag, maybe a reference to dear old grandpa and/or a dog, and you got about every single song on "country" radio today. Don't know why they can't see people are hungry for a change, something more (dare I say) unique or authentic. I guess a lot of what I listen to anymore would be more properly called roots rock or Americana or singer-songwriter or bluesy stuff...

Hey thanks for the reminder that I need to call Sirius tonight and "cancel." Just fyi, when you call at the end of the trial period, they will always (literally, always) give you a deal on renewing it. Just tell them you don't listen to it much. We have it in a car that only gets driven maybe 1.5 hrs/wk, so while we like Sirius, it's not worth the full price. I put it on the calendar to cancel it a few days' ahead of each renewal date, then call them up. Usually they'll renew it for about half or a third off.

Yeah you sure can....just let them know which ones to turn off.boondocks":9b42or39 said:TexasBred":9b42or39 said:We do the same thing....renewed it on the wife's car last month and got another discount by deleting the channels we never listen to. Made it pretty affordable.
I didn't know you had the option of deleting channels. They renewed ours for 28 bucks for 5 months, which I guess is fair....
