Music from the 90's

The fact is that no new bands have come out recently with the same energy as the bands of the early 90's.

We went through that No doubt, limp Bizkit phase and then moved on through Linkin Park and Deftones and now what do we have?

Do we have anything comparable to an Alice in Chains or Joe Satriani of the new generation?

The music industry is always pushing out with the old and in with the new. It's a shame that so many musicians go unheard. All the great vocalists and guitar players. All the great beat artists and rap artists.

Many are never heard. Think for a minute. If you're a music lover, you can only imagine what you'll feel like the day your music favorites pass away.

It's always sad to hear your favorite musician or act is dying out.

I grew up playing guitar around my home. I grew up on Satriani, Vai, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Sarah Mclachlan, Sade and many others.

Maybe I'm just latching on to the music of the early nineties. Is it just me, or did music seem to have a special air about it then that made it seem like anything was possible?

Bands like Dave Matthews and Tool. Soundgarden, Pearl Jam.
