I'll often go back and watch a scene here or there. The whole tournament episode is loving awesome It's only on youtube red right? I do really want to watch it legally, but don't wanna pay for that service. Cloak and Dagger's first ep made me tear up in its first episode. Welp, it's moving up the list of my fav TV of the year.

Rhyno posted:I said 20 years or so up to the 2000s. 1972 is 28 years prior and thus exempt from my comment. My mistake. There's not really any mainstream rock music I find especially exciting the past 20 years ago. Foo Fighters are usually fine but they're getting close to being a 30 year old band. I'm reminded of Alice Cooper saying nearly 10 years ago that he thought Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are better rock stars than most actual rock artists because they have more personality, while most rock stars a) dressed like lumberjacks; and b) came off like the idea of being a rock star embarrasses them. Somebody like Kanye is more of a rock star than, say, Chris Martin. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.

Wheat Loaf posted:My mistake. When rock moved away from hair metal part of it was losing the theatricality. Even when the music is theatrical (Coheed and Cambria) the performance itself is relatively restrained. They’re still great to see live for how epic the music is with a full crowd (and they generally play very, very, well, even if they have to play some of their songs a half-step down these days) but the most “rockstar” that Claudio gets is screaming a line of a song into his pickups or bringing out a double neck guitar for no real reason. My first concert as a teen was Nickelback (I won free tickets from a radio station without realizing what the prize was) and while even back then I knew their music sucked I have to admit they did put on a darn good show, with tons of pyrotechnics, moving around the stage, audience interaction, lasers, etc. Lurdiak posted:I can't even think of a single good rock album from 2000 to 2011. Like what, St Anger? Bush? System of a Down? Coheed. Check out either In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (though it’s a little proggy) or Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV (more traditional rock, has the best Police song not recorded by the Police). asecondduck fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Aug 25, 2018 |

I mean, there aren’t really any “traditional” rock albums released during that era that are good, everything is a genre of some sort or another. I’d submit Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American (the album is way more solid than The Middle suggests), the two Coheed albums I mentioned are great and hit on a ton of rock subgenres, Arctic Monkey’s Whatever People Say I Am..., The Strokes’ Is This It, White Stripes’s 00’s era releases, The Mars Volta’s first two albums, Queens of the Stone Age’s first couple of albums, that’s what I’ve got off the top of my head for recommendations for “rock” albums. And that’s not even getting into 00’s Emo.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Silversun Pickups. Manchester Orchestra too. Oh and Say Anything, but I intentionally didn’t mention emo because I know the genre is divisive. The Decemberist’s “The Hazards Of Love” is a great prog rock opera, now that I think of it.

Rhyno posted:Plz tell me how amazing hair and glam rock were. The problem whenever people say "[decade] was bad for rock music" is that the only information that gives me is that the person is only talking about what was mainstream during that decade, either knowingly or unknowingly. Like, even if you think the indie-boom of the 00s was the best rock music has been in decades - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, The Strokes, White Stripes, etc etc etc - what you're not realizing, perhaps, is that those bands were specifically imitating the great "underground" bands of the 80s and 90s. It's like when people say the 70s was "nothing but disco".

There’s new good music in every year. Lots of it. You weirdos quit acting like there’s not when the problem is that it’s you that didn’t find it because you’re either lazy and expected it to be transmitted directly into your ears by the magical music gods or you decided you were too cool to try and discover new artists because you’re too old now and there’s no way anyone of a younger generation could be making good music. Or maybe without the help of MTV and local radio you’re just clueless as to how to find good new music since there’s only about a billion ways to do it. In the last few years I couldn’t even tell you how many great artists I’ve found via Spotify or YouTube or other means. Artists that I still would have loved when I was a teen and artists I would have have never given a shot because I had such narrow tastes in music at the time.

I still use Pitchfork. Like 1 in 100 times they recommend something actually good. I recently found Khruangbin and I can't believe they are new and not from the 1960s.

There are worse ones but I can't think of one I like less. Most of my favourite new music of the past decade or so is stuff I discovered via the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC Radio 6.

See this yet another example of finding a band you might not have heard of otherwise. Just a random mention in a post. I listened to about one minute before I knew I'd found another band I liked and had never heard of.

JD McPherson had a really good roots rock album out just last year but you wouldn't know because it didn't get played on the radio. And I enjoyed that Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats album that came out earlier this year; he has a band that knows how to swing. Vintage Trouble are another good band from within the last decade. And of course you can't beat a bit of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. They're a soul band but they know how to swing. That's very important.
