These things run in cycles.... kind of.

Arguably, Rock has been dead as a contempory art form since the early '80's or so, depending upon who you ask. It belongs to another age, like Ragtime, Dixieland, Mississipi Blues, Bigband, Bepop, Rhythm and Blues etc etc. Which is not to say that Rock itself is dead, just that it now belongs to a past age like the other above genres.

It has now been replaced by God knows what.... in fact I think the criteria for entertainment has now shifted and where once teenagers sat down with a 33rpm LP record and listened intently they may now be online fighting it out with Battlefield 2 or chatting with friends on Facebook. Music may still be in their lives but it will be on in the background while they do something else.

Plus the fact that the big money has kind of almost gone.... while the digital medium itself has been the greatest democratising element ever in the history of recorded music, the illegal downloads thing has killed off the ability for most people to actually make a career out of being a recording artist. And as for touring, that will soon be too unprofitable as well, twisting the knife even further..

Hard to see how another Rolling Stones will emerge out of all of that....

That pretty much nails it. Rock and roll, and music in general, was my LIFE growing up - not just background noise. I'd run out and buy an LP at the store the day it was released, bring it home, slap it on the turntable, and then turn all my friends on to it. The Stones were EXCITING. It's a whole new ballgame now.

It all depends on how you look at it. The thousands of hours of video, the bootlegs, the pics, the records....the Stones live forever.... Are you fucking serious?

I think a huge reason of why new rock n' roll is losing its significance and popularity is because there's no sense of mystery anymore. All the great rockers have a sense of mystery surrounding them. They were almost godlike: Jim Morrison's and Brian Jones' mysterious deaths, Keith's lifestyle and legends, Jimi Hendrix's incredible playing and psychedelic feel...

These days with myspace and blogging and youtube and so on, it's way more personal. The bands seem like they could be your next door neighbor or your schoolmate. If Hendrix would release his first album today, there'd be hundreds of videos explaining his effect pedals, playing style and tone setup on youtube by next week. The magic would be lost.

Really. The only one who is godlike nowadays is Tim McGraw.

My Morning Jacket.

What's not to like about MMJ? Jim James is the most inventive guitarist I've seen live since Ry Cooder. I realize their most current offering is a little off, but the last couple of MMJ albums before that have been spot on. They have the most potential of any band now working.

as long as I'm alive rock and roll ain't dead... and if you can't find younger, newer or just different bands to hip yourself to, you're looking in the wrong places or just looking for the same old thing, either way, dissapointment follows.
There's no doubt, the marketing and whatnot is changed so much, new bands need to sell songs through video games ect to make money.

Nobody touches the Rolling Stones - Yesterday, Today and probably Tomorrow too. However, I've been digging the Black Keys, thanks to a tip from this stellar board, for five years. These youngsters from Akron, Ohio -- The Black Keys -- are the real mcccoy. Their stuff is impossibly good.

Keep Rolling Forward -- Stones For All!!!!

Look out, too, for the Stereoblasters
