Co-opting American roots influences is new? Did The Band not happen?

That said, Mumford & Sons and their ilk are annoying. I liked Old Crow Medicine Show before any of this started.

There is still some Rocking good rock out there. You won't find it on the radio or tv or award shows but its there.

Check out Vintage Trouble. Great rocking' and R&B band. The singer is a cross between James Brown and Little Richard.

And you always have the Dave Grohl connection: Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures, and Queens Of The Stone Age.

You just have to look for the new bands. There a lot of regionals that play smaller places and sell a lot of tickets. Some get airplay local and most now sell their own music online. Out here a regional/local success has been The Clarks.

Boys bands, rap, pop country are different genres than rock. That's not rock music, and has never claimed to be. So I don't know what you're talking about there jimmy. Mumford and Sons and The Everett Brothers are good music. Good for you if you don't agree. Sorry they're not Led Zeppelin. Nobody is.

Ok,what I meant was those types of music genre is pushing rock out of the picture in todays popular culture. I put on VH1's Top 20 Countdown and it looks like a hippie hodown with all this folk music shit. I'm sure it's all the young college kids who are into wearing plaid shirts,dirty jeans and earth shoes who drink warm stout and feel good about themselves. Counter-culture types,EMO's,whatever.

Yup...all bad. Who are the great bands from the 1990's, 2000's & the 2010's who will go down in history as all time greats? There aren't any. Don't try to tell me that Nirvana & U2 were great. They weren't. They're both weak sauce.

Mumford & Sons are pretty much the new Dave Matthews Band for this generation of college kids/frat boys. There is no talent to be found, but that's ok, they have banjos so it must be profound, meaningful music (!). The usage of banjo also conveys the image that they are a simple band that simply wants to play simple music- they would never allow for overproduction because it would taint and take the focus away from their material.

They were fine for 5 minutes but their sound is redundant. I don't find them to be stomach curdling like DMB though.

BRING BACK BIGBAND!!!

Hilarious.

U2 was from the 80's btw.

The Swingers influenced resurgence of Swing music in the 90's was quite possibly one of the most awful times for music ever.....and the 90's swing kids douches that went to that shit are hundreds of thousands of times worse than anything the current hipster culture could ever dream to be.

Was that movement really relevant though? There was like 3 bands that made it big, and it died pretty damn quick.

Swing revival was like a few months in early 1999. We've suffered through bad Bears seasons longer than the swing revival.

Osmonds came out first on the 1964 Andy Williams Show. They had some catchy tunes.

Interesting. The Williams Brothers may have been the first boy group back in the 30s. This is making my head hurt.
