There are just as many bright spots in this decade as in any, though. Not to mention it is only 7/10th of the way through.

Or 83/120ths.

Or slice cheese with it.

Well, what do you count as 00 stuff? There is of course Audioslave. Should not forget Audioslave...then the 00 stuff of Radiohead is great. The White Stripes. The Strokes. Muse. Dredg. Simple Plan. Iron and Wine. Norah Jones. Outkast.

Alicia Keys anyone? Super talented, and yummy too.

She does seem like the one artist who came out in the midst of all the new female R&B artists who actually had talent for writing and performing. Her second album was really good, too. I just hope she doesn't get swayed.

Im with you on The White Stripes,but Velvet Revolver aint up to much apart from a good first single and RHCP have been making the same album since 93.

So it's a credit that they still remain better than a shitload of other bands isn't it?

So far I only remember it for one album.

No

I'm not denying they have a trademark style, but considering that's not what they do, you'd be wrong.

The Chilis have been doing "the same thing" for 13 years and are still quite clearly a better band than all the generic metal bands out. Thine Eyes Bleed, All That Remains, Still Remains, It Dies Today, As I Lay Dying, Every Time I Die etc etc. All the same band, I think.

All That Remains has a pretty distinct sounds, in my opinion, and shouldn't be lumped in that group with all the other "post-hardcore" bands. I don't know of any more versatile vocalist than Phil LaBonte, either. All the old Shadows Fall albums, he was a straight up yeller. The past two ATR albums, which I own, he's got insane range, and tosses out 4 different styles..some tracks featuring all of them. It's kind of hard to be unique, and a metal band, these days.

This decade will be remeber both musically and social as

"We were too busy been angry at George W. Bush. That we forgot to create art and opted to make political garbage to make money"

Mark my words...in 2016 when VH1 does a Behind the Music flashback episode someone will say those lines.

Yes, everyone is just rehashing old styles that have already proven to work, no one with talent takes risks.... again, speaking mainstreamwise.

By the way, Alpha.... absolutely LOVE the Fight Club sig!!!

I have a different measuring stick with regards to what's considered versatile given that I listen to Mike Patton, so maybe that's why he doesn't impress me.

Well thats my opinion of RHCP.......its what i hear,others do others dont.
I dont think theyve progressed at all.A 13 yr old track couldve sat happilly alongside stuff on their last cd easily.
I have to bow out of this convo as i aint heard ANY of those other bands mentioned....ive lost step with metal and theres that many bands coming up in that genre(and its offshoots) that even the most music savvy person finds it hard to keep up with em all.

Music savvy people don't keep up with bands for the sake of it anyway, I just know them from being into music. I don't "keep up".
