ROCK & ROLL is DEAD

[QUOTE="Nifty_Shark"]

[QUOTE="FalcoLX"]I understand the complaints about it. The Colour and the Shape is probably their best.

Without a doubt. It's got so many great songs. Most of those songs could easily go head to head with Nirvana material.

Hah, anyone who has listened to more than five grunge bands will tell you that Nirvana was easily the least deserving of their ill-fated stardom. So many bands put out so much better work it's hard to fathom why Nirvana has always been the poster group for grunge.

Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam (not true grunge), Helmet, Stone Temple Pilots, the list goes on.

I still prefer Nirvana over all those bands you listed.

The Mars Volta...

underneath all the mainstream crap, there is actually some hidden gems out there. saying that rock n roll is dead is a bit of an overstatement, but i will say that today's rock n roll will never compare to past decades.

While nine out of my ten favorite bands are all groups from the 80s or even before that I disagree that Rock & Roll is dead. There are some pretty good bands nowadays even though most of the ones who are mainstream are awful. Rock is a very wide genre so it is bound to have some terrible bands and sub-genres under it. As for a CD in the 200s that is as good as those you mentioned I would go for Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Death, it is an impressive album.

It's more or less dead for our parents if I may say. They just can't relate to the current rock sound or maybe they just are out of touch since they never were big music fans to begin with. I mean seriously they stopped buying lots of albums sometime before the grunge era ended.

if metallica or master of puppets are in your top 5 metal albums / bands list.. their is an 80% chance you are a metal noob and just havn't heard enough, or you dont have taste / think exodus and slayer are too hardcore.

I 100% disagree with you. Cancer Bats are awesome, Gallows are awesome, Soulfly rocks hard, and Rise Against's album Siren Song of the Counter Culture is one of the best albums ever recorded. Those are just a few. Slipknot is awesome too.

Hey hey my my rock and roll can never die.

For me it's:

Nirvana > Pearl Jam > Alice in Chains > Soundgarden > STP (I really can't take too much Tool)

I agree with you, Rock and Roll is dead, all these new rock bands ruined it. It used to be good, no it's just annoying

*Looks down*

Oh hey, whaddya know.

well IMO Underoath-Cries of The Past is one of the best albums in a long while (it came out in 2000) you will not find it on Zune though or any mainstream music program as it is dicscontinued. You will have to get it off the internet.

[QUOTE="WhiteSnake5000"]

Three albums you should check out.

The Sham Mirrors by Arcturus, In a Flesh Aquarium by Unexpect, Traced in Air by Cynic. That's three... And the awesome part of that is that I could name over 200 more.

Don't really know why you're bothering, its' his opinion, no use debating it. I don't even like Master of Puppets, so, there you go, differing opinions are swell.

Plus, Unexpect will NOT be everyones cup of tea, such an extremely Avant-Garde group that many people just hear noise when listening to them. (I love In A Flesh Aquarium, by the way.) Plus, I'd definitely recommend Focus over Traced In Air.

A better fit for debating Metallica would be mentioning Overkill or Motorhead.

WHAT???? Rock n Rollwill conquer all the decenies!!!! I know that at the present we cannot find Rock n roll as in the past but this genre of music will stay alive forever!

[QUOTE="BeepBoop16"]

[QUOTE="Morning_Revival"] Name me an album better than Master of Puppets and I will consider your comment.

Darth-Caedus

Ride The Lightning is great but not on par with Puppets. Kill em all has a good sound but the songs are too similar and not so complex.

Everything else is mediocre (Some are better than Kill 'em all), maybe a few good songs on each album.

Peace Sells, no. Rust in Peace, close contender.

The Death albums are all great too, as are the Iron Maiden and Judas Priest ones.

Metallica and Master of Puppets are in my top 5 metal albums list. There's a 100% you are a metal elitist. I've heard plenty as there's lots of great albums, but not many match Pupperts quality song-for-song. Rust In Peace was a good suggestion. Also, neither Slayer nor Exodus are too hardcore, though they are repetetive (I like them in short bursts, wouldn't listen to an album all the way through).

Rock & Roll is not dead, it has merelybeen knocked from the limelight.

I think most people simply prefer the subtleties of Alternative over themacho flair of Rock and Roll.

Rock and Roll has evolved into a far more complex and aggresive genre known as Metal. And its far from dead.

You obviously dont care to much about rock if your looking at the sales charts. Go to a local pub and watch real bands.
