I'm getting old in my age. And grouchy. Read the first paragraph of this Rolling Stone article about some young band of guttersnipes and see what you think.
These young men are not comparing apples to oranges. They are comparing rotten apples to moldy oranges. They're certainly correct that there is a battle going on for the ears of young rock listeners; the problem is the combatants are all shit. This is allegorical to the Bush v. Kerry of 2004. Independant, marginal, different sounding bands are the third party candidates who don't stand a chance, but actually offer something worth hearing.
Listen to track 2 off of Black Mountain's new self-titled album. Now that's the rock music that kids should be listening to.
