Them Crooked Vultures.

Sure it's a "super group" made up of two of the biggest modern day rock group's front men and also John Paul Jones(Led Zeppelin bassist) but it's definitely the band that renewed my faith in Rock music.
 
Rock died about the time MTV stopped playing any music and started playing nothing but reality shows.

Can't exactly say what killed it, but I distinctly remember that point in time being when I no longer found new rock material regularly coming out (MTV/radio).
 
Oh crap...did I screw up my link? God I'm awful at the internets. Anyway its just a youtube vid of LMFAOs I'm sexy and I know it.
 
Hey put some roller skates on and dangle a disco ball over that song and you got yourself some modern day disco.
Just sayin...

My 16 year old niece thinks the Scorpions are the best band ever. Kinda strange, but not too strange given what's available.

LOL,almost every kid i know or any young person likes that disgusting rap and hip hop music,i don't really see what makes it so interesting

All the music consists of is about guys bragging about banging women,having money and blasting a cap in a mofos ass while having some beat that you can't even get a jiggy with it.

I would rather hear a dog die of a slow slow painful death while a fart happens to push out of its ass when its bowels collapse then hear rap.:|

Classic rock forever!:biggrin:

are you saying the Foo Fighters suck?

I think the problem is what passes for Rock nowadays. You only have to look at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to see that people don't have a clue what constitutes Rock.
 
rock died when grunge became popular. what a horrible, horrible decade the 90's was for rock.

everyone knows this.
 
Rock never died its all around in one form or another.

Here is A great song . You can call it blues . But I can go back to early rock and find the same music . The only thing differant about Rock is its perception .

rock died in the 2000's when all these bands started using the "indie band" sound effect... eg. killers, modest mouse. and on the other spectrum, bands like nickelback and that sound like nickelback (hinder... other crap on the radio) also put the nail in the coffin.

Its hard to believe that your reality is so out of touch. Rock is Rock no matter what the label says.

Rock isn't dead. It still gets a lot of air play but it's no longer mainstream. The decline began in the 90s with the rise of hip hop to the masses and the return of bubblegum pop. Now hip hop is slowly being supplanted by house music and dubstep. Considering rock has been popular for almost 60 years, I'd say it's has a good run. Longer if you consider it to be a subgenre of blues.
