Posted by hydorahMost of the best shit came from the silent generation or at least 1940s boomers. Van Halen is the only core boomer who was any good. That's why you always hear boomers moaning about modern music because they were teenagers when the real good shit was being made, by the time they were making it that wave was over.
Grunge is shit though...
It pains me to say it because it's mostly genX artists, but they don't have the good energy of the boomers.
Once I watched a video of that guy frusciante who is a very good guitarist and he talked for one hour of how he composed this one song and how it was a melting pot of great boomers influences and it was really nice to listen and enthusing.
But then the song started playing and it was fucking suck. Some kinda gloomy depressing guitar massacre noise heard through a bathtub.
I think Genx just don't have the creative energy of the previous generation
Posted by hydorahMaybe it's shit fair enough, but that guy was not grunge.

He was from Red H.C.P.

The grunge on the radio was pop, so some can say it's shit, but some albums were good, but who ever listens to albums.click to expand
Posted by alexscariesYeah I agree. I wouldn't put Scorpions with hair metal but they did capitalize on that wave. Queen was actually a good concept but it got ruined in the aftermath with how much the media tried to push it.Posted by Bumboklaat
Grunge wasn't about technicality, it was depressive with lot of emphasis on vocals. Most of was shit imo. Even Most of nirvanas songs are meh, its their 4 or 5 hits that made it. Soundgarden had great fucking vocals you cant deny ans Kim Thayil is a beast on riffs and solos, the drummer Cameron also had a badass groove similar to bonham.
I remember when I lived in Seattle for a couple of months, after 2 weeks I was like when the sun gonna come out this shits depressing.
Boomer music can be terrible too with what plays on the radio, Queen overrated, Bowie was alright but mostly the hits. 80s hair metal was all shit except for couple of good riffs here and there. All that supertramp clone noise on 80s radio.
Every generation has its shit music.
Agreed. That said still love Bleach and Dinosaur Jr. Never liked Queen - pretentious, bombastic, camp but not funny or ironic - not denying the talent of musicianship just it's not for me. Bowie was good when he worked with Mick Ronson, nobody else. Same as Michael Jackson only good when he worked with Quincy Jones. 80s hair metal or cock rock is terrible, but I'm always impressed by how good the musicians are - Mick Mars, Viv Campbell, Scorpions. I quite like some bands that followed grunge like Queens of the Stone Age.click to expand
