Regardless of these little differences in opinion, I still say they have been, by far, the most interesting rock band of the last decade.[/QUOTE]

yeah, many people will say so (and I consider it´s a fantastic album), but the one that really made me fall in love with Muse was "Black Holes...".

I think Nirvana and The Foo Fighters will be the Queen and Zeppelin of our generation. They will be the rock bands that people 40-50 years from now will still listen to. Can't say that about many others.[/QUOTE]
ouch!!!
Kings of Leon, Killers, Manics, Green day, Muse, RHCPs, White Stripes, Blink, Coldplay, Radiohead, Artic Monkeys, Black Keys, QoTSA, Arcade Fire, Alter Bridge, Pearl Jam, Shinedown, Matchbox Twenty...even My Chemical Romance had their moments.
Every decade/generation produces bands that although not mega-huge, will still be listened to in decades to come.
Quality always survives the test of time.
which is why "lesser known" (in the mainstream) bands like The Band, Velvet Underground, CCR, Love, Zombies, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, Byrds - have ALL produced a handful of songs that will remain in the consciousness of the mainstream for decades to come.[/QUOTE]
I said I can't think of many others. Doesn't mean there aren't any :)
Now that you mention a few though, I think Jack White (and the White Stripes), The Killers, Muse, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers are the only others. I think the others you mentioned will also live on, but not with the same legacy. I really like Arcade Fire, but I can't see them having a legacy like Nirvana, The White Stripes, or Muse, although I hope they have something similar.

Muse.
Black Holes And Revelations and The 2nd Law are phenomenal albums.
[/QUOTE]
Muse. I agree.
"Origin of Symmetry" &
"Absolution"
are their best LPs in my opinion. My opinion might have to do with the fact that I became a Muse fan in 2001. I'm not really fond of the direction the band is heading these days.
Can't wait for the new LP though...

Having said that, these days my absolute favourite live bands are Manic Street Preachers and Suede.

Queen were a unique clever rock group fronted by the most amazing charismatic front man ever in Freddie Mercury.
No band on the planet will ever be as classy as Queen were, and no band will achieve what Queen did,
because in the 70s it was difficult to hit the big time, and you had to be bloody good or you got no where,
nowadays the music industry is almost disabled because of the dominance of the xfactor where unknowns get catapulted into
the big time with no experience and simon cowell & co throw thousands at these unknowns and the hype begins.
There will never be another Queen, There will never be another Freddie Mercury, for those of us who have seen this group in all there glory
we are blessed, because it will never happen again!

the Nirvana thing isn't really a mystery is it? or is it?
Rock Star Death Age - and all that bollocks....it guarantees an immortality for a band that were probably only "quite good" - but are since painted as the stuff of legend.
Sad really that some of the bands that co-existed -some beat Nirvana to getting a recording contract - and many of which were (imo) much better (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains & Stone Temple Pilots) - never got the same level of acclaim or recognition.

I will agree that the bands of the early to mid 90's were good bands, which is where I remember started to notice a drop in anything IMO note worthy. Even so I don't think any band, or solo artist will ever, even in the coming years, eclipse what bands like Queen, Zep, the Who, Stones, Beetles have done. I'm not trying to piss on any new bands that some of you like and enjoy, I just don't see that star power in the newer bands, the early bands seem to have achieved.

Vampire Weekend too. Their first album is one of the best albums of the last decade.

And that's where I stopped reading. Did you completely miss the rest of this thread where good music of the last 25 years is being discussed?
And you obviously missed all the horribly bad music that dominated the charts in the 70s. Even before disco.
Your post is akin to saying all music after 1966 sucks because The Monkees existed. Their manufacturing process was absolutely no different from today's X Factor type of music product and social engineering.
Or you can just stay under that rock.

It's a fantastic record - not a single bad cut on it, for sure.
But they still hadn't quite shaken off the Radiohead thing. They were trying to sound like Radiohead when Thom Yorke didn't want to sound like Radiohead. He developed an allergic reaction to the pop hook a few years earlier.
I'd agree that they found their sound on Absolution, but fully hit their stride on Black Holes and Revelations.

I'd say Pearl Jam did.
I'm not sure about the UK and Europe, but in North America they are widely regarded as one of the best and hardest working live bands ever.
They haven't had a hit record in quite some time, but they can still sell out any arena. And there's no show - just pure music.
On their last tour, for the last song they turned on the house lights and turned off the sound system. After reading about it I wish I'd experienced it, but I passed it up, foolishly.

it was just my twopenneth - but i felt that Cobain dying so tragically cast Nirvana as the gold standard for Grunge when nothing could be further from the truth. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden Stone Temple Pilots and Alice were better bands (imo) with Pearl Jam being the best of the genre.
