I wish I had your confidence. I've been following music for a very long time as I am sure you have. So you know as well as I do, that things have been cookie cutter crap for a very long time outside of some very few exceptions.Benedict wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 1:49 am There are people (scarily like you & I) who are hoping to hear a new Boz or Gordon.

Why no be in front of them? Esp seeing I predict that this will be a "thing" reasonably soon.
We can both go over the whole history of when and how rock died (actually it started with the introduction of synths in the 80s as a main instrument and not just a Lucky Man doodling thing) but what's the point? The downward spiral has been going on for so long now that I don't see it turning around.
In fact, there's a video out there that shows the top albums for each year from the 60s on and you can see the graph of how little rock there is left in the world. We have been taken over by hip hop, rap and dance music.
Yes, there are a few rock bands out there (Imagine Dragons, etc) but they are way in the minority and not exactly tearing up the charts.
