Lately more then usual i've been listening to STP, Sublime, Nirvana, early Foo Fighters, and the music was just so great back then, what happened im not saying music sucks nowadays but music not as good as it was. What do you guys think about how music has changed?
Man I just don't understand how some people have this view on music nowadays. Thanks to the internet we all have access to an unlimited supply of harmonies and melodies. There's some amazing stuff out right now. You just gotta know where to look.
To the question though. I believe that music is at an all time high right now. It's just an extremely over saturated art that's been raped by the major record companies for decades. But artists of all genres have even greater freedom nowadays thanks to the interwebz.

I really don't listen to anything modern anymore. I don't think its a matter of everything sucking but I'm just find it uninteresting, uninspired. Lately I've just been listening to a lot of Filter and Alice in Chains and A Perfect Circle. A lot of times we tend to romanticize the past like how everyone thinks the 60s-80s were awesome times. Shit in the 90's I thought everything was lame and I couldn't care less about much of anything. Nowadays I look back on all the goofy fashions, the goths, the internet coffee shops, Beavis and Butt-head, Spawn The Maxx and the death of Superman, SNL and Chris Farley, and everything else with a great deal of fondness.

Try listening The Flaming Lips, good psychedelic rock band man, mostly the albums: The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, At War with the Mystics, Clouds Tastes Metallic & Embryonic. I am pretty sure you will like them since I had the exact same taste as you before, wouldn't listen to anything new, but these guys are fucking incredible. The did a cover of Dark Side of the Moon also.
-------------------- Pour un instant, j'ai respiré très fort
Ça m'a permis de visiter mon corps
Des inconnus vivent en roi chez moi
Moi qui avait accepté leurs lois
J'ai perdu mon temps à gagner du temps
J'ai besoin de me trouver une histoire à me conter
Pour instant j'ai oublié mon nom
Harmonium - Pour un instant --------------------------------------------

I completely agree.

i saw the flaming lips in concert a couple weeks ago (doing darkside of the moon) for the first time and it was the best concert i've ever been to, without a doubt. However, their music is pretty simple and poppy, but I also like it. My friends that went to the show don't really care for the music on its own but really want to go see them play again.
Also, on another note, we anticipate tool to release a new album in the next year or so. so that's good news.
I've always passed on the Flaming Lips simply because the name makes it sound like one of those indie alternative rock bands that I absolutely hate. My curiosity is spiked though so I might give it a try. Anybody who can do a half decent cover of anything by Pink Floyd is at least worth a shot.

I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
