The Eagles are the biggest selling American rock band.
Nickleback is an awful comparison.

Go to bed Grandpa.
Tons of amazing bands out there in the rock genre sphere. Do you need me to teach you how Spotify works?

What are you blabbering about?
Phish has been selling out venues for 40 years and they’re white as wonder bread.

Seems like some in this thread should expose themselves to a helping of steel panther.

No. Laurel Canyon went away where half the musicians at the time lived and developed. Damn Manson!

So hard to be white in America today!
well, I'm not saying it is hard, but blacks have it much easier.....hell, if you black, all you have to do is apply yourself a little, go to a decent college (not swac) and make decent grades, and you will have much more opportunity to get a good job than the average white. Employers want to hire actual intelligent blacks. They aren't looking to hire black women from swac schools who can barely read and can't put together a grammatically correct resume.

Rock music as part of the popular mainstream mix has virtually died . The music industry as a whole has become very segmented . However, there are less bands being signed today than in years past.

A lot of that talent is on youtube.

The only songs I know by then are Lazy Eye and Panic Switch. Both definitely jam. I like a lot of the others that you listed as well.

You could probably say the same about all forms of entertainment media.

I saw Don McLean (American Pie, Vincent) in concert about 10 years ago and he mentioned this very thing. He blamed it on the advent of the internet. And the timeline does seem to correlate somewhat.
Rick Beato had some interesting ideas on how music has changed but it's more to do with digital production techniques.

I will listen to those bands, but will need to hear it to believe it
I honestly hope you enjoy them and use the few I threw up to find more.

Didn't say more. Hell the 3 year period between 1990 and 1993 had more awesome breakthrough music than any other time in my life. I mean big bands just breaking out...Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Tool, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith no More, and a ton of others putting out something different.

I listen to them and realize that every one of them is just recycling the same ideas as Peter Gabriel or Brian Eno or David Bowie or The Beatles or the Eurythmics back in the 60s or 70s or 80s (and doing it better), but the person making the list is just too young to know it.
You're 55 correct? So am I. I never said any of the bands I listed were doing anything new. Quite to the contrary. They were listed for fellow old farts looking for new bands making music like what we used to listen to.
There are a handful, not many, doing something different. Of these bands, I have tried to give them a listen and I am just not into what most are selling. I wish them well though. The only good one, and I cannot even explain why I like them, is Sleep Token. I would not have thought I would like music like they make, but I do for some reason.

quote:How much access to 1940s music did the average kid have back then? Imagine the logistics, time, and money involved for a teen in the 1980s to sample and explore music from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s at will in their room or on their headphones. Kids today can do that with a $100 phone and a YouTube subscription. I would have loved to have been able to do that in the 1980s, but my access to "older" music was limited to my parents' records and a single oldies station playing 1950s doo-wop (both of which I listened to, though they still exposed me to only a tiny fraction of what kids today can access in seconds).
Back in the 80s we didn’t listen to music from the 40s. Kids today do listen to 40-50 year old music.

I'm 63, a boomer, and a DJ in college, part of my life is to explore new music. The interwebs provide endless new bands.
Just went to a show while on vacay in Co....King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. What a freakin show. Nobody sat down the entire time. Was a little worried the wifey woudn't like it, but she loved it.
This is rock and roll people. No culture to be seen. Ya'll need to explore.
