I find it hard to take a stance here. I mean, I'm a rock fan through and through and I know there is great stuff out there. If I can throw everything together from soft rock to brit pop to metal, then I find enough to listen to. Muse did good, Arctic Monkeys are quite enjoyable, I will never miss a Rammstein opportunity etc and these are mostly guys who made it big in the last decade.

But the issue now is that we haven't seen anything "wii sports" huge since the early 90's. I consider Nirvana/AC/DC the final true testament to new well known rock, meaning that you can go to the director of the Philharmonic Orchestra and he can humm the tune to Highway to Hell or Teen Spirit. After that? Nothing. Nothing broke out since them to the general public as rock-revelations.

Prior to that we only had to wait a few years before the next big thing hit. Think about it in the 50's there was suddenly Elvis, the Beatles and Bill Hailey etc, then the golden Era of the 60's with the Doors, Rolling Stones, CCR, the Kinks, Jimi Hendrix and so on... the 70's where queen started and went on full into the 80's, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, all the Hair-Bands like the Sweet... the 80's with Guns n Roses, Metellica, Kiss...

The greats are few and far between now.
