First of all, I backtracked on my statement that Led Zeppelin "sucks" in another post, read more carefully please.

Second of all, ok I admit that I was a bit pretentious when I made that statement about "90% of the bands" and so on, and I apologize for that, because that's the last thing I want to be, but it sometime irks me when I see statements like this...

"I cannot say the same for a lot of new music. I just hear the crap that gets played on the radio, which leads me to believe new rock sucks."

It's a terrible generalization, it's like if I listened to one song on the classic rock station and decided that classic rock sucks as a whole. I just want to try to get people to avoid saying that "all new music" sucks if they haven't listened to all that this generation has to offer. I've listened to plenty of what Led Zeppelin has to offer, and I don't like them, but it is my belief that not many people have not listened to some good indie rock (it's true that this is a minority). I'm not trying to say that I'm the only cool person who can listen to this music either as obviously you have too, so that's really not my point (and I didn't mean it to sound that way)... I dunno, I guess that's all I have to say, word...

Edit: Just a quick question out of curiousity, do you agree that independent music today is better than the "popular" music today?
