The offspringjust became ridiculous eventually. A video about a sh&t sandwich just showed why I could not be a fan of this band. I always thought they became caricature as well especially with "Pretty Fly for a White Guy". Their best songs were "Self esteem", "Come Out and Play" and "The Kids Are Alright". I don't care much for anything else by them.

They jumped the shark a long time ago, but their first few albums were solid.

GVF has a pretty decent sound, but aren't very good live. Its good tribute music, but if I wanted to listen to a Zeppelin-sound-alike, then I'd just listen to Zeppelin. No offense to GVF but I have more respect for bands that have their "own" sound. Not bands that replicate someone else.

Wannabe Zeppelin sound with Aerosmith outfits... C'mon man

Hardly, they're just getting started. Their first full length will be highly anticipated.

Their next single is "Black Smoke Rising". It's gonna be another smash.

Another one of my faves:

Here's an "original" band. What do you think? This one does mean something to me.

It's OK, doesn't really stand out to me. The effected guitars remind me a bit of the Cure. The song itself reminds me of Stars by Hum, although I think Hum has much better hooks and production...

Yes,yes and yes.............

Today's recordings are brick-walled for maximum loudness, causing ear fatigue and stripping all dynamics out of the songs. Today's artists are largely re-arranging songs and styles that previously existed, whether intentionally or not. As for 5FDP, not a fan. Just the latest version of frat boy bro-metal IMO.

You do realize how young these kids are, right? We should at least let them put out a full length album or two before writing them off...

Most everything recorded since the year 2000 is a pile of crap.

What does age have to do with it? They could be a bunch of 50 year olds and still be considered a new band. Doesn't change the fact that their sound is a blatant Zeppelin copy. FWIW I think its cool for millenials to have a way to connect with classic rock.
