I don't have no favorite. But, If you're old school, then you need to go back to school! Granted, late 90's and early Y2K music sucked. However, in the past 4 years i've found that there are a shit load of talented artist out there trying to make a living in a F-uped music market. With Itunes, Lime Wire and all the internet based downloading they don't get radio play like the old days and many new artists have a hard time making the scene, let alone a living.
I'm a hard rock-metal man from the old school and after seeing & meeting some of these new bands I have a new respect for the screwed up scene they deal with, because they work their ass's off are good people and yet they get no major recognition because the market sucks. Here are a few of my new favorites that will kick you ass and find out your name later. Black Stone Cherry, The Answer, Airbourne, Blacktide, Shinedown, Avenged Sevenfold, The Showdown, Killswitch Engage, Rev Theory, Alter Bridge, Voodoo Six, The Parlor Mob, Stereoside and even Hinder.
If any of you old school metal heads think the 21st century music sucks, then give these old school rockers from back in the day a listen sometime. You will NOT be disappointed! Oh and yes these bands along with many more have produced excellent albums in the past decade. Metallica-Death Magnetic, Tesla- Forever More, Judas Priest-Angel of Retribution, Alice Cooper-Along Came a Spider, Motley Crue-Saints of LA & Sebastian Bach's-Angel Down, just to name a FEW.
Long Live Rock & Roll
