Strange Broue Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 What a fuckin' tragic thread, desperately trying to glean some semblence of quality from what is clearly a barrel-load of shite Alabama Shakes Rival Sons yeah, what a barrel-load of shiteI would say these 2 songs are better than GNR's entire career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto tuned vocals and everything lol if this is the best rock can offer in 2015 then mainstream rock is well and truly dead. Still an enjoyable song. 5/10As for rival Suns.. How can you give any credibility to a band that has clearly has no originality? A carbon copy of led Zeppelin all the way from the singers vocals and stance to the page-esque solo and Bonham like drumming.. At least when Wolfmother done it they made it interesting. 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Certainly not the most important but the best rock album ive heard this year is definitely Stereo Nasty's debut record - Nasty by Nature. If you're looking for something balls to the wall that could have been plucked straight from the sunsetstrip circa 1985 then give this band a listen. Their bandcamp page is Stereonasty.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real McCoy Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I haven't listened to those songs yet. McCoy are they true songs with some depth - or the typical country thing of taking a catch-phrase and even building an entire song around that phrase.Smoke and Drunk Dial were definitely written with radio play in mind. Those are the two most commercial songs on the album. There's not another radio single on there that I can pick out offhand, so I'd say that the album is worth a listen. You'd probably enjoy the rockers on there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Is Gram Parsons and Whiskytown count as country? I've got a Willie Nelson album somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Adel sold 17m WW copies of 25 yet. That's impressive.Invictus had the biggest impact on me, with Ghost and Maiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Country is the new rock.True more than you think. Someone said "Today's country reminds me of what rock and roll was in the 80's." basically cheesy and commercial. Whoever that was was spot on. Now, that isn't saying Country today is bad. I mean rock in the 80's wasn't all bad. In the midst of all that crap there was good stuff, same about today's country. I looked it up, Tom Petty said that.

GnRDuff1 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Motörhead - Bad Magic. For me, understandably not for anyone else here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not sure we can call any recent rock album important. Not in the grand scheme of things anyway.Personally I'd say the return of Faith No More and Sol Invictus was the most important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) My top 3 probably are Sol Invictus, Pale Emperor, Rock or Bust. Also like Higher Truth. I just thought there might be one stand out record from a new band. Edited January 15, 2016 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great musicians, but I just can't get in to them aside from a few songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Zak opened for Dave Matthews a few years back, now they'd do a big co-headlining tour. The same thing about Zak's albums can be said about Dave Matthews albums. You're seeing metal make a comeback (even though it never went away) but I don't know if you'll see new bands in the top 40 world anytime soon.
