The 2000s will probably be rated down there with the 80s by music historians. With tired rehashes of old tunes, hip hop, and the pointless 7 string drop-d tuned talentless nu-metal bands of today, believe me when I say that this decade so far looks like it's going to be (mostly) forgettable.<br /><br />Some of the exceptions from this years winners:<br /><br />Norah Jones - Ruthlessly overpromoted by papas music business contacts, but apart from that not a bad voice. Diana Krall would kick her ass any day though.<br /><br />John Mayer - Actually a pretty good guitar player - check him out on the Crossroads festival DVD channeling the spirits of Jimi and SRV - but a total sellout with his (well executed) pop.<br /><br />Los Lonely Boys - Excellent blues/Rock album in the SRV vein with a Latin touch. Love the album.<br /><br />Velvet Revolver - Slash is back! Yeah baby! With STPs Scott Weiland - when he's out of rehab that is.<br /><br />U2 - Ok, they're probably the greatest touring band now. (The Stones are carefully preserved in a maixture of formaldehyde and tequila and don't count)<br /><br />Rod Stewart - Excuse me - just because you're an aging rock icon does not mean you can sing jazz, Mr. Stewart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267015.post-1107429451815496692005-02-03T11:17:00.000+00:002005-02-03T11:17:00.000+00:00Yeah, thought of that.
