I don't think we'll know if we're experiencing a musical revolution until after it's passed.

Well said.

Oh, and I think that true innovation in rock music ended years ago. However, that doesn't mean it can't be found in other genres.

Youre right, but there can still be creativity in rock.

There was a great deal of crap written in the Sixties, thats true. But certainly less than in our times, when crap is regarded as norm and good bands regarded as rarities. What im saying is, Good bands were more common back then, and crap is in an abundance today.

I have a feeling that blastingas10 is getting his opinion from this article... If you are, then please allow me to inform you that the man who wrote it is extremely biased... not to mention his musical knowledge can pretty much be narrowed down to The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

The music wasnt the only revolution of the times. The sixties were a very revolutionary time in many ways. And I think that obviously had a profound affect on the minds of the people and in turn that had an affect on the music.

Once upon a time I shared your opinions. I thought that new music - anything made after 1999 - couldn't possibly be good music.

Then I started listening to new music.

I never said that it couldnt possibly be good. There is music being made in the 21st century that i like, but its mostly made by artists that go back to the 20th century. I still think that most popular music today is crap.

None of the rock artists since the original pioneers of the sitxties and even late fifties have done anything worthy of being called revolutionary. Will there be another musical revolution? Its almost certain there will be, some day.

Good music is not hard to come by unless you're expecting it to be spoonfed to you. All you need is the right resource to help you find it, and you're on this website, so... problem?

Ultimately, I think hindsight is 20/20, and we can't make any accurate claims about the quality of this decade until we're out of it. I bet in 10 more years, the 00s will look pretty good in comparison to what's being produced.
