Most music has always been ****e. You just have to look for decent stuff. All the music I've been listening to this millenium has been ****ing great.
Bar the Arctic Monkeys I'd agree. Not a lot. The band from this millennium that I listen to the most are Ballboy. Write some great stuff IMO [video=youtube;oVLQxsLqjp0]http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=oVLQxsLqjp0[/video]
I doubt the 90's will ever be beaten. What with the emergence of trance, drum & bass, top bands such as oasis, spice girls, take that... The only better decade could be the 70's for rockers. This millennium has no chance.
Arctic Monkeys Libertines Kasabian The Strokes Jake Bugg The Cribs Arcade Fire Interpol Older bands like Stereophonics & White Stripes got better & produced some decent stuff. Some decent dance & electro stuff.
The explosion of minimal techno revolutionised the dance music world and it's positive effects are still being felt now. There is so much more to come from underground dance music for the next couple of decades.
There's many excellent new bands around. As has been said previously the art is finding them. The Strypes The Sherlocks The Neutronics The Mutineers The Friday Night Lights (TFNL) The Cornerstones Puppet Rebellion Calling All Astronauts (CAA) Turrentine Jones The Electric Stars From Beverley (I think) - The Supersonic Jets Victorian Trout Conspiracy The Holy Ghosts The North The Hardy Souls The Sherlocks played a free gig at Linnet (I think) a few weeks back
Some of you lot need to start listening around a bit more. As long as you keep away from the charts and all that hip-hop, RnB, rap, "Urban" ****e, there's loads of great stuff around.
I saw Dave Clarke a couple of times. Wasn't as minimal as you'd think. Westbam was a different beast and Christian Vogel took minimal to another level the time I saw him. Not really my bag though, I preferred low end squelch theory. Oh and Artic Monkeys are w**k.
Real contemporary music, regardless of the times... [video=youtube;wEkYUNoNgmU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEkYUNoNgmU&list=PLBKBueXI50Bd6irlsyrv6i8zu5NxLWdH7[/video]
the fact that Dappy has had some form of musical career in recent years should be enough to guarantee the topic statement is true.
