Rock And Roll Olympics?

That shit is old and tired. The stones, roger waters, Eddie vedder? Old old and old. We've still got the eagles and aerosmith, but they're irrelevant. Let's talk about the state of rock today, not yesteryear. Until the stones release some terrible new songs like van halen they're not even worth talking about in contemporary music

hey i totally agree with you BUT just cuz you weren't born when those bands were relevant is no reason to consider them as has beens. your choice of bands that you probably jerk off to nightly, have everything to do with the ground-breaking music and prod that they brought to the table while you were still shitting yellow.
radiohead would be anything without the influences of pink floyd? oasis=beattles ripoff. nick cave and the bad seeds w/o influences of dylan, reed or cochrane?
i could turn you onto shit made in any decade that would make you rethink the anti vedder and floyd comments.
to each his own.
what was your first album you bought? oh that's right they only had cds then.

Actually it was cassette tapes, but my stepdad had literally hundreds of albums. Outside of the occasional niche song I pretty much don't accept that you could turn me on to anything I haven't heard. However this thread calls for Rock olympics. In the Olympics the best in the world RIGHT NOW compete. Nobody considered the USA fielding the 1992 dream team in 2012, even though they were undeniably great in 1992

I've been listening to Dirt Poor Robins a ton, lately
It's really hard for me to pin a sound on them. When I first heard em, I figured, "ehhhh, just another indie band." But holy crap, the male/female vocals are quirky yet fantastic, and the solos just rock. I heard them on Pandora when listening to the Black Keys radio, but I feel they've got more versatility. This song's just really happy sounding a la ELO or Rusted Root.

But I think this song of theirs is my absolute favorite. It sounds inspired by Heart and Muse, and I the solo reminds me of Page.
I really want to find more music like this.
