No, I am not trying to "spam." The two threads are very similar, so I figured I would post the same thing in both, for I saw no harm.

I happen to like them, and if you don't, then don't listen to them, no one is forcing you.

Maybe you should be a little more considerate when someone is trying to do you a favor and suggest something, even if you don't like the suggestion, at least maybe acknowledge the effort instead of attacking it.

They are, in my opinion, the best alt-rock band ever. I'm astounded that so many people don't know about them.

I think Alternative rock has been on a decline for a while now. Bands that used to be good, like Shinedown, Seether, etc. seem like they're constantly pumping out crap as of late. Especially Seether. That band is depressing. They went from having awesome music like Truth and Fine Again to crappy songs that contain lyrics like "Cause I'm so much more than meets the eye". WTF? They've gotten so bad that they had to rip a line from Transformers?

Ah he's decent, but I prefer Nas over him. I said Jay-z though because he's more recognizeable. ;)

I wouldnt say that, i think the difference these days is that the best music imo is not found on the radio while before in the 90s and earlier it was easier to find mainstream wise. Not that we have the internet though there is no excuse to not finding good music:P There are tons of great bands around you just have to find them. All decades have good and bad music, ours is no worse.

Yea, but jay-z is definitely more of a public figure and believe it or not I have met many rockers who have no idea who Nas is, but they are fully aware of Jay-z, BUT I'll stop hijacking this thread now. Sorry fellas lol

[QUOTE="jubino"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Much better alt bands out there than Shinedown and Seether. No, it's not on decline. But radio music.....or post grunge is not the best example of alt.

SMASHING PUMPKINS

Alternative is much too broad, so I'll go with a spectrum of different bands.

Radiohead

Liars

Deerhunter

Modest Mouse (old)

Neutral Milk Hotel

The Octopus Project

Pixies

Portishead (preferrably stuff off their new album, Third)

Wolf Parade

TV on the Radio

The Arcade Fire

Battles

Hella

I seriously doubt you're going to check out these out anyway.

When it comes to Alternative Rock bands, R.E.M. is the first thing that comes to my mind. ;)
