re: Do you think rock bands will ever make a resurgence?

I say it repeatedly, but the truth is that the widespread popularity of classic rock radio is the main reason rock music is so passé now. Somebody said "It's old people music" and that is correct, but why? It's because the classic rock format has always refused to integrate new music into the playlist.
The CR stations are usually the only consistent rock outlet for most radio markets and EVERY damn thing they play was already threadbare back in the early 80s. Even satellite radio is guilty of this to a lesser degree.
Back when rock music was healthy it was because the free outlet (radio) made sure to rotate the repertoire and keep it from getting stale. Now it's like seeing the same old rotting corpse all day every day over and over again. How many times do we really need to hear "Dream On"? I got it already. I know that fricking song in my sleep. Can't we just leave it alone at this point?
Rock music will continue to decline until the CRR format goes away or at least stops being popular enough to dominate the radio market.

Some rock stations have been converting to all rock, not just classic or modern. 98.1 mixes in some 90s bands and 105.1 plays some 70s and 80s stuff. Its not an even mix but its something.

I fricking wish. The last thing I want to hear on a goddamn classic rock station is Nirvana and RHCP. I like them, don't get me wrong, but it's like taking a swig of vodka when you think it's water.
