My Chemical Romance (the new album is brilliant!)

Aah so very true.. especially Welcome To The Black Parade is great

[Craterus]

Agreed, the whole album is brilliant but if I had to rank songs in order of preference, Welcome To The Black Parade wouldn't place so highly.

Teenagers, however, is an absolutely fantastic song!

[GreatEmperor]

and the songtext is also great

[JimBob]

Why are so many people's rock lists full of old artists?

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Listenning to Wrestlers Theme Music isn't Bad ehiter, IMO..

[Quietus]

Why are so many people's rock lists full of old artists?

Because old music is plain great without any gimmicks.

Case in point (should have in What are you listening to thread), this classic song:
"I Don't Want To Talk About It" - Rod Stewart.

The nervous sexy chick flubbed it a bit, but an excellent version nonetheless

[JimBob]

Because old music is plain great without any gimmicks.

Of course, don't get me wrong. Dylan, Springsteen, Harrison, Lowell George, Entwistle are all my heroes. But there are great bands playing now : Wu, Umphrey's, Truckers, Ekoostik Hookah...why do we gotta rely on past generation's music?

[IrishArmenian]

Why are so many people's rock lists full of old artists?

Because:
A) The 'raw power' is largely undiscovered by Orgahs here. See: Tiger Army, Flogginy Molly, Dropkick Murphys and many more.
B) The sound recording is bad, in a good way. Biggest examples I can think of is Iggy and the Stooges on the album Raw Power--Search and Destroy has a lot of dead air that is taken up by the feedback and the guitar sounds like it is played on an Amplifier witha fuzz setting but that is just the sound quality. Also, Social Distortion's Mommy's Little Monster and Mainliner. Both great albums from my favorite band, yet Mainliner is not a bonafide studio recorded album. It is all recorded in basements and such.
C) I don't think old music is better, I just think 95% of the real talent today is undiscovered.

Think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head there! The current wave of indie-pop seems to be focused on bland, overproduced sounds. It makes the music dull! (see The Killers' and Razorlight's new album's for the best examples i can think of)

Seeing Less Than Jake & Dropkick Murphies on they're joint tour next week!

Why are so many people's rock lists full of old artists?

Because 60's music was the only music ever made -- EVER -- that was made not just for sound alone, but with conscious thought given to how this sound would affect the listener's visual and tactile senses. Since I have Tourette's Syndrome, my head does not work entirely normally; with one effect being that I can "see" and "feel" the shape and texture of music. I have had this wierd sense for as long as I can remember, and it is quite entertaining. Without fail, the only music that has a conscious feel and texture is 60's psychedelia; everything else feels too haphazard and random to me.

[GoreBag]

I'm in a grind band. I listen to metal and grind with a few exceptions. A list would be terribly long and a waste of time.
