In Reply to: I know there must be some real good contemporary rock bands ... posted by porky_pig_jr on March 29, 2007 at 13:52:38:
If you're going to investigate Nick Cave you should be able to discern that these 'there is no good music these days' arguments is utter nonsense. His Best Of is a great place to start.Then there's Tom Waits. Wilco circa Being There. The records Johnny Cash has made with Rick Rubin. The past 3 or so Bob Dylan albums. Beck records like Mutations and Sea Change. The White Stripes, especially the last record. I could go on, but the exercise is far more tired than the argument that leads to it in the first place. Me, I'm not much on Helmet, and the Butt Surfs' catalog must be carefully mined to find the odd gem amongst much experimental & often nonsensical material, but then I'd recommend the first Muffs album, Big Sandy & the Fly-Rite Boys, the Big Star live album Columbia, maybe the first Strokes album, the Electric Six, Little Killers, and, if you can tolerate rap, Eminem, with the greatest hits album probably being the best bet.
I'm glad that at least you're willing to not do the ostrich thing & may actually even listen to something that doesn't fall under the loose confines of what constitutes good rock music, as brought to us by the general outline of a Rolling Stone-ish guided worldview on rock music.
