oh no doubt, music is all about personal taste, which is the beauty of it. my point wasn't to change your taste, simply trying to point out there is some good rock music out there, look past the sea of pop and 'country' crap(I can't stand country music :-)). Seriously, check out some of the names i threw out there, don't ignore bands like Wilco, Beck, Pixies(while all of those are 'older acts', still very relevant and carrying and passing the torch to newer acts. Moving to Philly was the best thing my music side ever did, opened up a whole new world to me, all credit goes to WXPN radio station.
