Na you got in wrong Batsy. The last big wave was indie rock, the Artic Monkey's, White Stripes and bands like that. They did all right but had we still been in the era of selling albums they would have been huge!!!

Record companies today just dump their money into pop stars because their hoping for that one Ke$ha hit that will make them millions on ITunes.

Most people just down load it for free though. I would never actually pay for that $hit

There's a reason it's called indie rock. Cause it's indie. Hence, it's not mainstream for the most part. And my point stands about radio rock being ****ty due to hair bands>post-grunge>nu metal>nu post-grunge.

Straight up rock had a few good decades, just like straight up metal did, but their best days are behind them and now the only things worth listening to, besides the enjoyable throwbacks, are the more experimental groups.

Noway Hosay, those indie bands became big like the grunge bands, but the support network derived from the profits of album sales aren't there anymore to catapult them into the land of rock n roll stardom. The artic Monkeys and the White Stripes replaced the $hitty post grunge bands like Creed & Nickelback.

No they didn't. White Stripes had one song on the radio and I never heard of Arctic Monkeys till I came to this site. Creed might be dead, but Nickelback are still around like Herpes, along with all the other butt rock bands like Hinder and Seether.
