Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 I go through various musical stages and I've decided that I need some rock in my life. It seems like everything new in that genre is mostly whiny little teenage boys. I was excited about Velvet Revolver and bought their CD, but it's just OK. I think my expectations were too high. I would appreciate any suggestions.
MellonCollie Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Franz Ferdinand is a good new rock band (indie). Try out some of their songs.
MindCrime Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 I was excited about Velvet Revolver and bought their CD, but it's just OK. I think my expectations were too high. I felt the same way after listening to the entire album, it sounds more like a hard core STP with a whined down voice, and the GnR influences are weak & disregarded. I like the songs Spectacle & Headspace though.

cosmosis Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 The best thing that came out the past few years is The White Stripes. YAAAAAAAA!
Costellogirl75 Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 I got all dressed up in spandex, platform boots, a yellow clown wig, and caked on pink eye shadow and lipstick because I thought this was a thread about Twisted Sister! Well, I'm not gonna take it!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 17, 2004 Author Report Posted July 17, 2004 C-girl, I was hoping someone would catch that!
Carl Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 To add some international flavour to your Rock mix, get the Cold Chisel greatest hits CD. Our Australian friends on the boards suggested it, and I've really enjoyed it.
Emma484 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 the truth we havta face is all the rock that matters is old and if your looking for true rock get out those old greatest hits cds! i think that the new "guns and roses greatest hits" is pretty good, try that, it depends wat type of rock your into? alternative punk pop metal or just rock! -emma
R_Soul Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Highly recommended are Muse. They have had three albums out: "Showbiz", "Origin Of Symmetry" and "Absolution" (plus also the double, "Hullabloo", but that was a collection of B-side and a live album). They are all really great albums - Some hard hitting rock, interspersed with some spine-tingling melodies. They are my favourite band of the decade (so they therefore join: The Beatles - 60s Sex Pistols - 70s Stone Roses - 80s Radiohead - 90s so you can see where I'm coming from). I was also extremely impressed with Wilco's "Yanke Hotel Foxtrot" once it grew on me. I haven't heard their new one yet. I will be buying that on Tuesday, but it got good reviews over here in little England. I also quite like what I've heard from NZ band The Datsuns. Hope that helps. [However, if you like Guns 'n' Roses, it won't!] Martin
