i've listened to some stuff by the new age rock bands - fall out boy, the killers, alexisonfire etc etc. it just doesn't do anything for me, at all. i just see (and hear) a total lack of talent in these bands and i question how they were given a contract.
i do believe however, that today's bands are judged by appearance and media hype just as much as their actual recordings. the big music companies have such a strangle hold on the listening audience without them even knowing it. they market their products so well. i almost consider it to be a mild form of brainwashing.
