We getting old or are the bands we listen to getting lame?

[G.Irish]

Chili Peppers are still awesome. They definately aren't the same band anymore. But in all reality, listening to bands that don't evolve their sound kind of suck. With all due respect to a band like AC/DC, they rock,but after a while you do get tired of hearing the same basic idea on every record

Yeah I feel like bands need to evolve and grow. Sometimes bands evolve into suckiness, sometimes they reach even greater heights. Realistically though most bands don't make music for a lifetime. They have their time in the spotlight, then time passes them by or they break up (or both).

I think right now there is something going on with music that is allowing more suckiness than usual through (even more sucky than the 80's). Digital production is drastically reducing the cost of producing an album and opening the game up to a lot more 'producers' than would have ever had a chance otherwise. Its kind of like how once people got their hands on Microsoft Publisher lots of people suddenly had the power to make shitty newsletters and fliers. And don't get me started on the evils of Powerpoint...
