Some of us found the grunge movement and the majority of '90s alt. rock to be disposable and forgettable. What's the good old days to some is just more of the same for the rest. I don't think music's taken a downward spiral necessarily. I think it's just sucked that bad for that much longer.

I personally thought bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, etc were hardly forgettable but I do respect a difference of opinion.

My question would be what bands of today would you put at the same level as those I listed?

So it's the first brand new album he has bought in 15 years.  Either he stopped listening to any new music or simply started downloading stuff.  I hope he paid for the downloads.

I remember him whingeing how people weren't buying his CD when it came out - well it doesn't sound like he has been supporting other artists during the last 15 years by buying their CD?

Good one. He definitely shot himself in the foot with that comment.

I like his enthusiasm though, and the fact he appreciates vinyl. This young generation will never realize the degradation of quality from mp3 to vinyl.
