I can respect your opinions, but you gotta lay down what you think is not on the "suck" list.

If it's a band that started after 1997, there's a 97% chance that it sucks. Sorry.

I like alternative rock, I do not like some country/rap/classical.

I'm sorry, GreenChief, but I'm inclined to disagree (see, this is the polite way to disagree with somebody without running the risk of being labelled a "flamer" and walking the short road to general unpopularity). 1997 is way too soon if you're going to generalise. Real good music has been dead for over 20 years in my opinion. And I'm less than 20 years old. Go figure. And actual music as an art form is basically in its death throes, since pop music has come to dominate. The only way I see forward is a combination of Jazz and modern orchestral music, which is being done in several avenues (I've had the privilege to play some of this new music with the composers conducting - they study jazz composition at Uni, but write more classical style leaning stuff).

I think that something large needs to happen to shake music out of its current, for want of a better word, crapness. Just like Beethoven's deafness shook music out of the Classical doldrums of Mozart and Co. We basically need a new Romantic movement, in the form of a marriage of jazz and orchestral art music, if that makes sense to you.

So, yeah. Go pre-1980s music! w00t! And go even more pre-1920s art music!!!

The music you hold as good in your opinion is great, HOWEVER i think you may still be a little too young and in-experianced to say pre-1980's music is not very good. The music of the last two decades has held very real meaning to me. When i was under 20 in age i thought that alternative rock was the only thing worth listening too.. now that i have "grown up" i am now 26, I have a much broader view of music. I happen to like a bit of just about everything out there. One thing will always remain, we have our own opinions. I must appluad you for not falling into the typical american teen mold of listening to top 40 music. Winamp.com has live internet radio, and you can find some really cool stations with stuff you never heard before. Try to not get stuck in one genre. I would like to see this thread get back on topic however. Just tell us what you are listening to now, Green Chief has a thread designed for people to attack others opinions running farther down the list in the flood.
