Thanks to Ryan Dannan for the inspiration to blog about this.
You don't know you are experiencing a musical revolution until it has passed. It is impossible to know what music will matter 5, 10, 30 years down the road. Did anyone watching the New Years Day video back in the early 80's think that U2 would be the biggest tour in 2009? Music has staying power. Good music defines a generation.
So, are we hearing that now? It has been awhile since there has been good music put out in mass. A good band comes up now and again, but is this the time that there is a whole new sound? A whole new feel?
Take a listen to some of these new(er) groups. They may just be the sound that will mark the late 00's.
Gaslight Anthem
Gomez
Glasvegas
Editors
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
White Lies
Friendly Fires
The Shins
Let me know if there are others you are listening to these days. I am always looking for something new to drop on my iPod.
