Marshmallow Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Anybody who's looking for a great college/brit pop/indie rock show, go see The Futureheads. Just saw them tonight in NYC at Webster Hall. That sh-- was tight. Blew Franz Ferdinand away!!! Those of you stuck in 1963, 1973, 1983, or 1993, nevermind. Especially the dude who still likes BNL.

The Poojer Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 you sound like our parents and grandparents, you have to roll with the changes and explore new music, there is actually alot of good stuff out there and it isn't really that hard to find!

That ain't rock. Don't get me started on what passes for "punk" today, either. If someone can provide me with a decent ROCK band, I'd be more than happy to give it a listen. I guess maybe Jet is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenday and Foo fighters are two fake "punk" bands, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only about 50 people at the Continental show, then like 4 months later their song is constantly playing on the radio and I see them perform on Conan O'Brien. The band is just two guys, a drummer (also vocals) and a bass player. Pretty interesting to see live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'll tell you what, rock died in or about 1993, pal. 352905[/snapback] Yeah, I think you're right. The band "Live" killed rock. But that's okay. It needed to die. It will come back stronger and better somewhere down the line. It's always a cycle. But why grump about it like your parents? Keep an open mind. Music should evolve. Enjoy what new bands bring to the table. Enjoy the new experience. When your classic rock comes back, you'll enjoy it even more. Right now the best bands are... The Futureheads Franz Ferdinand Iron & Wine Arcade Fire Emiliana Torrini Bloc Party British Sea Power The Coral The Streets The Dears Elbow Elkland Spoon The Vines Gorillaz The Hives Hot Hot Heat Kasabian Killers The Kills LCD Soundsystem Libertines Louis XIV Magnetic Fields The Shins Walkmen Zutons Decemberists Her Space Holiday Kaiser Chiefs Postal Service Ted Leo & The PHarmacists Interpol White Stripes Of Montreal Ryan Adams Gillian Welch Coldplay Wilco U2 If you don't know any of these bands except the last three, you need to update your music collection a little. Those of you who have Sirius Radio, tune into 26, Left of Center. You'll hear most of these bands. Hope this helps. Goo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
