For a long time the music industry has had its ups and downs. Since the turn of the latest century, music seems to have taken a vague turn. During the 1990s, rock bands had a sense of creativity that seems to have surpassed the cult followings of more modern musicians.
Musicians like Sarah Mclachlan, Joe Satriani, Alice in Chains, Dave Matthews, Tori Amos, Natalie Merchant, members of the grunge and prog rock scene like Tool, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam...Smashing Pumpkins, Steve Vai...
Womens in music were also quite strong at this time... No Doubt, Bonnie Raitt, 10,000 Mainiacs, Indigo Girls.
Who has risen to such spectacle as some of these acts since then?
Who do we have to replace these icons? Over time we will will see.

Deftones reach for diigital sound
Well it's been awhile since we heard Deftones for the first time.
They managed to put together some interesting tracks. It is always nice to see something original and the Deftones managed to break a mold in the prog rock era that helped bring digital and heavy low bass guitar tone together.
Kind of reminds you of say Depeche mode meets Tool. With all the latest music going toward a drum and beat style, how will guitar based rock and roll hang on?
Or will it?
Deftones were one of the last bands to wield such guitar riffs. It is interesting to fans of the genre, but what about the new crowds turning of age?

Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam - You always heard them and knew they existed, but still they remained in the back of your mind.
It is amazing to think of how much music Pearl Jam recorded. Eddie Vedder and his crew have managed to amass a vast library of self published music as well as many covers.
Surely, there have not been any other vocalists that stand out in the same way they did in the 90's.
Maynard of Tool has maintained a long stretch. It is interesting to think how many 90's bands broke up.
One thing for sure is that Eddie had a way with words and his material continues to remain interesting in light of a slower sound.
There is never enough said for being a good lyricist. When you can choose words that move people and make them sound good, you have great power.
