    In the 70s 80s and 90s they were everywhere.

    Music isn't what it used to be or am I just being sad and old?

    U2
    Coldplay
    Stereophonic
    AC/DC
    Radiohead
    Arctic Monkeys
    Green Day
    Foo Fighters


    Those are all I cam think of who are still active and relevant.

    I stopped being interested around the mid to late nineties. Stereophonics, Supergrass, Blur, Kula Shaker, Oasis, Paul Weller, Verve at a push Muse, The Datsuns and the Killers.

    Then I started looking backwards musically and preferring what had gone before and realised modern music was mostly rehashed from previous era's and genres.

    The new stuff by Travis is as good as some of their prime. They were live on Jo Wiley's radio 2 show last night.

    You're old!

    Ask yourself this - how did you used to hear about new bands? For me it was reading NME, Melody Maker etc ,Evening session on R1, Peel obviously and mates telling me about new bands.

    There are some really good new bands out there if you're willing to put some effort in to finding them - I still love going to small gigs to see bands.

    Not heard of any. Will I gain any street cred by saying I quite like Yard Act after finding them by accident on youtube?
