I'm disappointed.
sure, im sure there's still good bands in the corners, but rock used to be such a dominant force, and there are still huge crowds willing to go to festivals and stand infront of the john peels stage etcI agree, to a point... definitely if you look on big festival stages you won't find anything inspiring. It is still there in tiny niche scenes though, that look inward with no desire to break into the mainstream. Whether it is worth the effort to seek it out just depends on the individual.
leaving the FWF out of it for a minute I think rock music might well be up shit creek at the moment - its not something i follow, but as i said on the Glastonbury on the Telly thread, the guitar bands i saw on that who got their sets filmed were pretty awful, and the general mood of music they were dishing out did feel like the rock spirit had long ago died. Glastonbury isnt really a rock festival, but still...
I don't really know any of those bands. Brian Jonestown massacre new album is good, they've been going since the 80s though. I guess by law of averages most of those bands won't be very good, but it's not really fair of me to say without giving them a go!sure, im sure there's still good bands in the corners, but rock used to be such a dominant force, and there are still huge crowds willing to go to festivals and stand infront of the john peels stage etc

are any of those any good/relevant? More so than FWF (these things are relative after all)? One thing is for sure, I cant imagine John Peel ever playing King Charles on his show.
Nothing happens when I click the number under views but if I click replies, I get that info. Only just discovered that thanks to this threadYou click on the number under 'views.'
Well there was a bit more to the accusations then that one incident IIRC but lets not open that can of worms again!You've now posted 69 times in a thread about a band that you say you don't like, mainly attempting to damn them for something that was supposedly said by one drunken member in a pub over a year ago.
That john peel stage lineup is shocking. I don't think it says anything about the state of rock music though, just about the lack of imagination of whoever programmed the stage (it looks like some 'BBC Introduces' filth)
Lykke Lie is better than the FWF, as for relevant depends what you mean, I think you could argue that Chvrches fall into that category, personally I'm a bit meh about them but I can understand their popularity.LYKKE LI 21:15 - 22:15

really?? music taste is a funny old game.Lykke Lie is better than the FWF
well they kind of do really... it is just that we were so far ahead of zeitgeist that they now look like they're behind.I see Q has its finger on the pulse of the zietgeist once again
its true. I think theres an analogy to made with FWF and Hitler here if we think hard enoughTheir was a lot of press about the Malaysian airlines plane getting shot down, doesn't mean it was a good thing.
You're either a master satirist or unhinged. 10/10.Whilst I can see the reason for all the publicity that they're getting, I still personally think they are fucking awful. Their was a lot of press about the Malaysian airlines plane getting shot down, doesn't mean it was a good thing. All the provocation is masking the fact that they're songs just aren't that good.
