I was just thinking that so many rock songs from that year you still hear today on stations that play songs from the last decade or so. The whole emo punk wave doesn't count btw.

Bring Me to Life
I Hate Everything About You
Numb (though I got sick of LP real quick)
When I'm Gone
Like a Stone
Faint

And especially this one. Never . gets. old.

Hail to the Thief is probably Radiohead's third best album.

Thirteenth Step is an okay album.

Probably one of my least favorite years of music, though.

No, what killed rock was Fallout boy and all that screamo emo crap that had women dying their hairs black. Bowling For Soup and that other band that sung Stacy's Mom paved the way for the Killers which paved the way for FOB, and after that rock was not the same. I guess you can call it "Me Too" rock.

If I have to ask myself what the last great rock song was in terms of appeal, it was Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. Came out in 04/05 right before everything went to sh*t. 3 Doors Down was already done, and Nickelback was trying to sell out. TDG had longevity within the rock realm but they never had the critical success of their first hit.

In a way me too, but it's not receiving the public attention that it used to. And giving what today's generation listens to, that's probably a good thing.

You aren't pinning that shit on Fountains of Wayne. Pure power pop.

Rock is fine. Rock radio is not.
