Probably my favorite rock album in the last few years was Hospitality-Hospitality. Strong debut album. A pleasure to listen to from start to finish. This is indie rock I guess, it's not hard rock, very laid-back. A nice album to kick back and listen to.

Hey boys if you want a great site check out RateYourMusic.com

http://rateyourmusic.com/customchart

You can type in any genre, any year/decade, and it will give you the highest rated albums.

LastFM.com is another top shelf site. You can sign up for free and sync it to your Itunes. It will then give you suggestions based on what you're listening to. I mainly use it for the "similar artists" if I like a certain band.

Bandcamp.com is probably the biggest growing independent music website around now. It lets anybody upload their music and either give it away for free, lets the customer decide how much they want to pay for it, or the band sets a cheap price. Theres no middle man. The money goes straight to the artist. I think sooner or later this is going to be the norm in the music industry. Record companies are dying and they know it. Anyway theres some really good stuff on this site.

I used to be into A7X, Breaking Benjamin, and some of the stuff mentioned here but there really are thousands of better bands out there (imo of course). You just wont hear them on MTV or mainstream/classic rock radio. Anybody who says music isnt good anymore just isnt looking hard enough. We have the internet fellas so theres no excuse. It doesnt matter if it came out in 2013 or 1965 youd be surprised how many albums are really out there.

I'm big into Halestorm now. They and A7X are my two favorite bands. I like both of their deep stuff better than their hit songs.

I don't listen to music radio (only talk, free beer and hot wings), nor do I know what channel MTV is on, lol. That's why I never know new bands, or who's popular. i just listen to what i think sounds nice.

The drumming is pretty basic/straight forward. Although I think I heard the guys in avenged held him back on this record.

I wish they wouldn't have.. The Rev is what made the City of Evil album amazing.. its what separates them from similar bands in my opinion.

AM By Arctic Monkeys is the sexiest rock record I've heard in a while. they're basically the second coming of the beatles over in the uk and not many people care here stateside. 5 consecutive number one albums for an indie band.

Here's a nice thread we can make use of while everyone is arguing in the Drake thread.

Any Kurt Vile fans? I think he's a modern day Kurt Cobain circa Unplugged.

saw halestorm (and new favorite band, The Warning) in charlotte yesterday.

new halestorm song is awesome. it's not as gritty as their first album, but at least they sound less pop and disney, like they did in the middle.

"People! Who's fighting? What for?"

We all know the best music was made in the 60s and 70s. And there's nothing you can do about it.

But respect to br7, who's my man.

couldn't agree more, Wingo!

if i could show you my amazon music account, you'd see that the vast majority of the songs are from my all time favorite bands, Heart and REM!

because i taught myself how to play guitar, you'd also see a **** load of: eric clapton, black sabbath, led zeppelin, jimi hendrix, and johnny cash!

and this is coming from a kid (35 now) whose mom only listened to Ace of Base and Amy Grant, and dad who only listened to David Bowie (who i am actually growing to like a bit now)

Have you heard anything off the new Ann Wilson album entitled “Fierce Bliss”? OMG! I was floored listening to a version of Robin Trower’s “Brudge Of Sighs” while driving but didn’t recognize the female artist. It was only after the song was over when the DJ announced it. She also has Kenny Wayne Sheppard, who’s a beast, on lead guitar.

You’re going to love this.

Last week I had the specific thought that R.E.M.'s greatness only grows with time. Their songs have aged well

Her voice sounds as great as ever. As a guitarist, I love Nancy as well. Having the two Wilson sisters lead a great rock and roll band was awesome to grow up with. They completely kicked the door open.
