I would have to sincerely disagree with you. Every 6 months there is someone new on the scene with the same voice. Plus, her writing talent is no where near excellent.

(I.E.: Adele has some talent, however she will be nothing more than a 10 second blip on the radar in the grand scheme of things.)

Late 90s - early 2000s was awful. Boy bands, pop punk, nu metal was all shite.

Depends on the pop punk. For example, The Ergs! were incredible. Also, Green Day's first 2 albums were both very good as well.

Putting old Green Day in the same category as Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, etc. is just down right stupid.

Go listen to the album Kerplunk, and then you might understand why you are categorically wrong.

Good Charlotte is 10 times better than what is played on Hits 1.

Suicide machines - sometimes I don't mind


I was a HUGE suicide machines fan in HS in the late 90s...

That entire album with sometimes I don't mind was a HUGE departure for them.

smoothed out slappy hours, kerplunk, and even dookie were great albums for that genre.

Hell, American Idiot was a damn good album...overplayed and became commercialized as hell... but it was executed far beyond any of those other shitty bands could ever dream of.

Woah there, I was with you until this. American Idiot was absolutely dog shite awful. One of the worst sellout albums of all time in fact.

This is much better than good charlotte, simple plan, new found glory and all those douche bands

If you're comparing that to Tonic, Fastball, Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz, Everclear, Marcy's Playground and even Harvey Danger's one hit wonder "Flagpole Sitta".

For Comparison

I would absolutely agree. I still consider Dorkrockcorkrod (The Ergs!) the greatest single pop punk album of all time.

(Also Rancid and NOFX are considered ska-punk, not really in the same category but still great.)

Honestly, the majority of mainstream music has been pretty terrible the past 20-30 years.


Debatable. Music is very nostalgic after the decade has passed. I grew up in the 90s and you will never convince me that alternative/grunge was terrible. Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Sound Garden, Radiohead, Gin Blossoms, Toad the Wet Sprocket, fricking Dishwalla. I was raised on these bastards.

Finding people who can sing isn't difficult. It's the singer/songwriters that I want.

Bob Dylan wouldn't make it past the first round of a singing competition.....but man the guy could write.

It's impactful (is impactful a word?) lyrics that people remember...
