I really like it when a talented musician from a modern rock band recommends some of the stuff that influenced them growing up. Then you can go and check it out... But overall I like discovering new and old bands equally.

I for one choose old bands because im beyond imaptient and would like the option to buy old CD's when I want. New bands are great, but I always play the CD till I hate them.

There's nothing like discovering a new band when they're ripe with passion, especially an unsigned band. I love being immersed in the excitement of watching a band grow into themselves. Conversely, its always nice to discover an old band with a hefty discography and history to get into. Especially bands with multiple eras of sound and style.

Both. Old bands are where are the new bands get their influnce. New bands are fresh, (usuallly, not boy bands though) and are the future of music. What I like is when an old band member colloborates with a new band. Even if it's only like one song. Robert Smith playing with Blink-182 is a good example. The first time I heard that song, I thought it was the Cure.

New bands may be fresh but they suck dik. Their nothin like the bands from the 60's,70's, and 80's. There is no future music, all music now sucks ****. And don't even talk about Smith working with *** 182

Depends which old bands your talking about.

Everybody knows about the Zeppelin`s , the Sabbath`s , the Hendrix`s etc etc.

But how many of you have got albums by the likes of Can , The 13th Floor Elevators , Big Star , The Sonics , Neu or The Deviants.

All of those bands were an influence on what came later yet none of them have had anything like any mainstream success.

Think you can only hear fresh music by listening to a new band?

WRONG

Isn't it a bit devaluating to call this thread "Old Bands"? "Back To The Roots" would have been better indeed... I mean we're talking bout Idols for whole generations! Bob Dylan, Jimi, The Beatles, Stones, Doors... I love their music still and I always will!!!
