Rock sorta lost me a few years back. Don't get me wrong, I still like it but there's not much new stuff that turns my crank. All the new bands seem to sound the same. I only get 3 radio stations here and one is called easy rock (and it sucks in a big way), the other is Sun FM which is a mix of hip hop, pop, and Britney Spears type crap. If you listen long enough you might hear a good rock tune but I've never been able to endure the crap long enough to do so. That's when I started listening to the local country station 100.7 Giant FM. I guess a became a country fan since then. I never cared much for the old stuff but I do like "New Country". A lot of killer stuff coming outa the music mafia these days. ;)

The last shop I worked in I was forced to work next to a 20something kid who had it tuned into the "modern" rock station. It just reinforced my idea that rock stopped being rock around 1986 or so. With the exception of 3 Doors Down and Nickleback all they played was the Britney Spears/Rhianna type crap. Kept telling the kid that it takes a musical instrument to make music so that crap didn't qualify. This radio station was so bad that they had an hour long playlist. When the hour switched it was back to the beginning. I counted the same song played nine times one day. I feel your pain...
