The list sucks even harder than your posts.

This that even possible?

What a try hard list. "A list filled with obscure moments/songs that 90% of the average music audience has never heard so I sound edgy and knowledgeable".

36. Prince's "Maybe I'm just like my father" line in "When Doves Cry."

This one is pretty good tbh.
Also 36 is my mom’s lucky number. She hated my dad

December 1999: Olivia Harrison knocking the shite out of the intruder from behind with an brass lamp while he was trying to kill her husband George.

Long, but true story. I have a friend who got 2 degrees from Michigan State. He graduated when Bubba Smith did. Uncle Sam pulled his number and he went into the Army. He never went overseas, spending most of his time in Kentucky.

He got out in the early 70's and spent a little time drifting around. He learned that he liked weed and blow. He was a big, good looking guy, kind of resembling Thomas Magnum, PI. I have seen a few of his old pictures.

He ended up in CA and began dating Olivia. They lived together, partying and making the sex as much as possible. He did odd jobs and she was a secretary at a record label. This lasted aboot a year before she broke up with him. She just told him she had met somebody else at work.

He moved to FL and saw later that she was marrying George Harrison. He has never spoken to her since the day she dumped him.

TL;DR I have a friend that absolutely wore out a Beatles wife before she met the Beatle.

You just described the TD Music Board.


I once replied to a "list" question with completely made up artists and albums, and nobody called me on it.

Typical Rock-Journalist, pretentious, never created anything worthwhile in their lives, virtue-signaling bullzhit....

This is a list of things the journalists wants you to know HE likes, many of which are obscure references meant to try and build some sort of street-cred with people who have equal zhitty taste.

He should change his fking name....

BTW, I have a very real and very deserved hatred of music-journalists, so there's that.

PS:
Why didn't the look Chuck Berry gave Yoko on the Mike Douglas make the list?

Rock went on life support shortly after 1995. I can’t come up with anything significant except for some great rockstars dying.

Maybe something, something to do with Dave Grohl, but I think his best album came out in 95.

---

False. So many great bands debuted between’95 and ‘05

Rock didn’t just have a “scream-o” or “pop rock” phase...you also saw great real bands emerge

I will say rock is pretty dormant now

I agree there have certainly been some quality rock bands since 95, but I personally think the genre became diluted, much of it lacked substance and it’s popularity seems to have dwindled, maybe that’s a consequence of having more content. That doesn’t mean that acts of worth did not exist.


What are notable Rock acts of the last 25 years?

Tool, System of a Down, White Stripes, Creed, The Black Keys, Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Blink 182, Radiohead, Linkin Park

What else?

There’s quality there, but it’s over 25 years and I personally think the 10(ish) years from 68-78 or the 4 years from 91-95 were of a deeper quality pound for pound. That’s just an opinion, and I probably view it through old guy lenses but It’s interesting to explore.

It’s also interesting to consider the staying power of Metallica, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the Foo Fighters, who have been going strong for 25-35 years
