Back in the 90's rock music was a fucking RELIGION. It was just powerful and there was a strong cult of people following it. The music was inspirational and epic. The lifestyle was drugs, pussy and loud music to empower yourself and feel like a God.
Nowadays rock music just seems like it sucks dick. It's like a wild bull that got castrated and beaten into submission, now it is hiding in the corner, afraid.
I don't know what happened. Maybe the CIA infiltrated the rock music scene and ruined it from the inside out? Maybe people these days just have no balls and can't make good songs? Maybe society has drifted into a more passive and narcisistic state, and people are too self-centered to keep the movement alive?
Whatever it is, rock music fucking sucks right now.
There is some cool shit in the Metal world right now. Some cool death metal and speed metal. But besides that it's shit.

Cycles.
Just wait out Generation Dogshit listening to some old Van Halen and Soundgarden.
-
It`s not dead, it`s just so spread out that no one can agree on shit.
All the people that listened to good music 20 years ago, still do. It`s just instead of listening to five or six different bands it`s spread across 300-400.
Music taste is too divided these days it`s that simple there`s still loads of good bands, just nothing to unite us.

You got a point. The internet has caused this.
Back in the 90's they just broadcasted music on TV and radio and that's how it became popular. So everyone was following the same bands.
Nowadays people go online and find exactly what they are looking for. And people are listening to obscure shit that barely anyone has heard of.
It's more of an idividual thing now, instead of a mass cult like it used to be. Which sucks in my opinion.

Meh it sucks but it``s hardly worth complaining about. Music has become pure, if not entirely pointless.

If aliens landed, and you had to explain rock 'n' roll to 'em in 3 albums.
Mine
Van Halen's debut
AC/DC: Back in Black
Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell

all music is dead , since the internet you longer have to pay for music , there for it is no longer a profitable enterprise , no one wants to invest the time and effort if theirs no money to be made
-
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magick
Pantera- Far Beyond Driven
NoFx- Punk in Drublic

... then I'd suggest they download some Stones, Led Zep, and old Aerosmith for further reference.

70's era is good too.
But I personally like the late 80's/early 90's best. And the 60's. These two time periods were the climax eras of rock creativity in my opinion.
I never liked Led Zep or The Stones. Aerosmith rules though.

That might be true. The internet REALLY changed things a lot. Nowadays it's all about local bands and obscure experimental shit. Which could be cool, but i'm just not seeing much good coming from it.
-
Rush Moving Pictures
Ted Nugent Great Gonzos
ACDC Let there be Rock
In my humble opinion
-
Just straight hard rock?
Led Zeppelin- Volume 4, but 2 could take it's place if you had too.
Sabbath- Master of Reality (any of the first 4-5, but that's my top chioce).
Aerosmith- Toys in the attic.
----------
Just because it popped into my head, if I had to do this with rap albums-
Sugar Hill Gang .
BDP- Criminally Minded.
NWA- Straight out of Compton.

yes local music is all thats left , very true

This is as dead as rock has been in my 42 years. You shouldn't have to search so hard to find decent music. Everything is way too attached to a trend these days.

What a bullshit myth. Theres way the fuck more music being made now than there ever was. It`s just that there`s no labels shoving it down your throat. If you look around there is plenty of music out there.
The battle has been won, only idiot buy cd`s. Music is basically free at this point. The only problem now is over saturation, once the labels completely die, it`ll be a much cleaner industry.

Whatever you thought best represented rock n roll. For instance, my next aliens were getting these three:
Judas Priest: British Steel
Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast
Metallica: Master of Puppets
I realize this might confuse the first aliens, but my goal is to create a rock 'n' roll dialogue between the two groups.
-
Alright-
The next batch will get:
Lynyrd Skynyrd- Self Titled.
GnR- Appetite For Destruction.
Alice in Chains- Dirt.

generic shit is all I hear on the radio. No individuality or talent whatsoever. Just a bunch of fags who can't sing and use the voice box instead. Its not about talent anymore... just how much money you have and who you know.

::) the opinion of a homosexual is meaningless. compare music now to music from the 60,70,80 and 90 , none of the new music will last , none of it will be remember , drake ? katy perry ? hanna montana ? justin beiber ? HAHAHAHAHA gimmie a fuckin break no one will remember any of this shit in ten years

That's the fucking truth.
There is a lot of good music though on the amatuer level. The problem is that you gotta hunt and search for it and each band just has a small following.
There are a lot of talented bands out there putting out good shit. But they are working part time at Taco Bell, broke, and playing shows for 70 people at a bar. They aren't getting famous.

Geez, too many to mention...

This isn't a music forum

They already made a compilation for the aliens
Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode was the rock music pick

I'm with you here... except that rock music in the 90's wasn't about pussy and getting fucked up. It was actually more somber and introspective. ...and it was in direct response to the bullshit 80's music that WAS all about partying and fucking.
Nirvana came along and wiped that bullshit off the map with one fucking song.

Best Smashing Pumpkins album... :D

Even during the eras you listed there was always bubble gum pop music whose demographic is 12 year old girls. Rock music caters to a completely different demographic.
I agree that selling music no longer profitable, but that's probably a good thing because most of the money was made by the labels, anyway, and they often dictated to the artists. Today, an artist can do exactly what he wants and not give a rat's ass what some label head and his obsolete production/distribution model thinks.
If a band wants to make it, today, they have to do it the old-fashioned way: one fan at a time, and hope you get to the point where you play big rooms.
Definitive Rock Albums?
Lots of good ones already mentioned. Here are a few that belong on Mount Olympus:
Deep Purple- Machine Head - aka The one with "Smoke on the Water."
Free - Fire and Water - aka The one with "All Right Now."
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak - aka The one with "The Boys are Back in Town."
-
All good choices I'm proud. Late 90's is where we saw the last of decent rock, now there are a hand full of diamonds in amongst the shit

That somber grunge thing only lasted a few years though, from about 92-95. After that it went more into the direction of Korn, Rob Zombie, Slipknot, Sevendust, Snot, System of A Down. Also a lot of punk stuff. It got more edgy for a few years.
Then around 2000 it just totally went to shit. No more edge. Just fashionable and hip crap.

"Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys "Abbey Road" by The Beatles "Darkside of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. Those 3 albums revolutionized rock music, but sadly by 1984 rock was pretty much dead. I did like grunge though.

In 1984 that Classic Rock sound died out. But Heavy Metal came in and it came in hard.
I'm not talking about Quiet Riot, Poison and hair metal like that. I'm talking Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Motorhead. All that was great.
Beach Boys??? I don't know man. For it's time I guess it was alright but that shit sounds like motown or barber shop music with the 4 guys singing. That shit ain't rockin.

There was plenty of somber and introspective music in the 80s too, but it didnt hit the mainstream until bands like nirvana

How did Abbey Road revolutionize music? How was it more revolutionary than their previous albums?
-
Too much multiculturalism and the lobby gay, destroyed rock...
-
Ok, I will admit that my nomination for "Abbey Road" was more personal than totally objective. So to keep it more objective, I replace "Abbey Road" with "Sgt. Pepper's".
-
Another 3 faves
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Korn - Korn
311 - Transistor

No kidding. The Smiths rocked cocks all over town, probably the best band of the 80's. Talking Heads, etc. Plenty of awesome 80's music, it just didn't get tv play as much as Poison and Madonna did.
GNR? Give me a break, they had one good album ever. Not awesome, just good album.

But you're right, all their other albums were much worse.

oh yeah....I was just listennng to the Heads live at My Fathers Place in Roslyn NY......circa 1779. They were great. Same with the Smith's. ..one of the most underrated bands ever. Kinda for swept under the rug with "new wave". You also had The Melvins...Screaming trees......Mudhoney...Hu sker Du........Pixies.....ban ds that were the beginning of Grunge. I absolutley loved Kings X...but only people which knew them were guitar players...and only smart ones. LOL
I thought we were talking about big acts....in 1985 I doubt 75% if young adults could tell you who Johnny Mar was

I'm fine with that, as long as the kids in the audience watching the Smiths were Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder and Cornell, et al. ;)

They were watching the melvins and Mudhoney and Pixies. If you listen to the Pixies its obvious how much they inspired Cobain. ....with the whole soft/LOUD/soft dynamic that became a cliche by the mid 90's.
Cornell was Into all sorts of shit....Early Soundgarden had horn parts in it and they would bounce from straight metal to chili-pepperesque beats.
-
Actually, I'd say that The Beatles really hit their stride when they released the Revolver album.

Great song. Stellar vocals by Mama Cass. I was listening to this last week, and had wondered how she would have done on American Idol. Despite having one of the best female voices in popular music in the last 50 years, I don't think she would last 2 weeks b/c of her weight issue.
Cass Elliot's 2nd chorus, following the instrumental break, is on a whole other level. She's sadly missed.

That's called harmony. Beach Boys had great, tight harmonies in their music. If you decide to learn a bit about harmony and it's role, I think you would enjoy all types of music to a greater degree. Maybe not though. Harmony can sound great in any genre, if it's executed properly.
