This is what we've bought and paid for by stealing music, labels need to re-coup their losses somehow. It simply isn't good enough anymore to have a band that makes good music as that isn't where the profit is made anymore

you mean just like the mid-80s all over again?

I honestly wouldn't complain.

I think that would be awesome to be honest.

i wouldn't.

you'd think the post-punk revival would have led to some good bands coming out though. whenever Franz Ferdinand sizzles out we'll see what happens next. personally i'd like to see a psychedelia revival, already happened a few times but not to the extent of others.

The post punk, garage rock and new wave revivals have lead to some of the worst music I've ever heard.

Now I can talk about the prog revival, but that's what you all expect and I know it's annoying the crap out of you by now, so I'll refrain.

I love My Morning Jacket, and Kings of Leon are pretty good. So maybe a southern rock revival might not be such a bad idea.

We still have arena rock. Isn't Nickelback basically Foreigner for the 00s?

But to be fair, at least in the 70s we had good arena rock. Like The Who and Queen.

But yeah, I long for some classic rock influenced bands to break into the mainstream. And I don't just mean bands like Jet and Wolfmother who are directly ripping it off.

MGMT have sort of a psychedelic sound, and they've been getting pretty popular lately.

Ew! Foreigner should not even be compared to those ****ty watered down post-grunge hacks! Unless you mean in terms of popularity which I would agree.

This is part true. The fact remains that a fair amount of the music that has come out of the revivals in question has been quality and well worthwhile.
