Was listening to Queen tonight...I'm sorry, but a guy like Freddie Mercury and the band Queen just aren't out there amongst all these new bands.
Nor is there another Hendrix, or Wilson sisters of Heart, or Beatles, or Rolling Stones, etc.
I know there are some pretty good indy bands (and hell...aren't all rock bands "indy" these days?), but show me a band with the talent to write and record "Bohemian Rhapsody" or have a guitarist as gifted as Hendrix or with the ability to lay down tracks like Jimmy Page did with Zep...or be able to do what The Beatles did.
There's a pretty big difference in the level of talent between the bands I'm referencing and the bands of today.
Of course talent like Hendrix, The Beatles, etc. may only come along once in a lifetime. But the current state of the music industry certainly isn't helping to foster it.
