Correct. While you were growing up on classic rock, I was growing up on Prince style R&B, or the old school rap artists. Could not stand the 80's hair band metal movement, although my sister hopped on a tour bus with Def Leppard and Tesla because she was servicing the Tesla drummer for a couple weeks as a groupie.

Now moved into modern punk, reggae and stuff like Death Cab for Cutie. Never liked "classic rock" in the slightest which means nothing other than we have different tastes, but is also a reflection that most of the people who listened to one thing in their youth have moved on to other things, and the current generations listen to their own generational (crap) music.

I do agree it will see a resurgence now and again, but you are likely to see it mixed in with stuff like grunge or harder modern rock because the genre following is getting narrower and it will take a broader appeal to support big market radio stations, unless you find a small station that can generate enough radio and a weak transmittor. (the powerful signals all go to the bigger money audience)

I am sure there are plenty of classic rock stations on pay radio. You could do what my dad did, bought a Sirius contract for a year, cancelled it, and they never shut off his service 4 years later and he no longer gets billed for it.

What you call "real music" sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me, what I listen to makes you want to puke, and neither one of us can probably explain the appeal and popularity of country other than perhaps too much inbreeding going on in this nation.

 

@ this whole thread.


Dude, get XM Radio and deal with it.

 

Did you seriously just call "Bullet for my Valentine" real rock?

 

LULZ at the dial up

 

I'm still wondering which AM station still plays Herb Alpert. I mean, I hear a lot of stuff from Tijuana on AM, but not Herb Alpert. . .

 

Vader - Your sis?



Btw - I wanted to add - thread is full of LULZ!

 

Yes . Sounds much better than ANYTHING I have heard on the radio lately! As a matter of fact Christian rock is more jamming than what I have heard on the popular radio stations! I like Reckless Love and the new Danger Danger albums better though!
Bullet is better than the Bieber crap you listen to!

 

yeah sirius / XM will get you what you need, been a fan of that for years - they have a few hard rock, classic rock stations... been a huge fan of Pandora - punch in an artist, pick other similar groups and it sets up a custom station - from there listen and thumb up or down each song and it gets even better by dropping out stuff you don't like.

 

 

I'm quite enjoying Skillet's new album, whats wrong with that mr.tuna
