It seems as though all of the great rock artists are dead or out of ideas. The awesome bands are in hiatus, and pop music is now more degrading and transparent than ever. And it is [i]everywhere[/i]. The once great rock artists of the past few decades have mostly gone soft, and the "rock" music that I hear now is very digital and the sound is compressed. Very few bands can get that dirty, hollow, rock sound. [b]So what does the flood think? Has rock music finally gone or is it just going through a bad phase?[/b] [i]Also, feel free to share and recommend your own favorite bands that you think are restoring rock to it's former glory![/i]
