Was this the last truly great rock album?

System of a down Mezmerize but thats really metal not rock

And that's really unfortunate because they aren't gonna last very long if their gimmick is copying Zeppelin. And I don't see how they can really evolve in a way that doesn't sound like something we've heard before a million times.

Isn't everything with electric guitars pretty much rock?

Most if not all bands start off copying their influences.

Idk. I just know im a fucking wrong-generation fag appearntly. Im 20 and all the rap shit my friends listen bores me to tears. I listen to mostly rock, jazz, and metal and all those are essentially dead genres. Ill listen to the occasional rap album but most of the ones I like are old as well, primarily outkast and beastie boys. I dont know wether to hate myself for being a boomer inside or hate zoomers for liking such trash music.

You are right. But Idk why I never felt like any band as famous as these guys made it so obvious that they were copying. Well except for Airborne copying ACDC but those aren't so famous.

WORRY.

Because they are only being influenced by one band so heavily, right down to the singer imitating Plant's hand gestures. They act as if they are a cover band but play it off as their own.

Greta van Fleet... holy shit they blow

Icky Thump is a far better album. It's the production and mixing that sucks on it, the song writing is top notch.

Good pick, a lot of their material is very good. Same Thee Oh Sees or Idles, even people say they're oignons.

After Elephant many amazing rock albums have been released, of course. Whenever I mention "band's discography" I mean all the albums after Elephant.

Why is "last good album of ________" always complete tourist shit?
Can't tell if it's always just b8 or people are this incompetent at finding good music

Jack White's a fucking fagola, dude, he was never cool.

Yeah but most bands have more disparate influences. Like if someone copied both Led Zeppelin and Miles Davis, both very popular, they'd end up with something original (although at this point that's definitely been done by somebody).

I think Greta Van Fleet should dig their heels into the Led Zeppelin shtick though. Level up their songwriting and playing ability to match Led Zeppelin's at their peak, use their fame money to use analogue recording technology for their upcoming releases, add weird reverse reverbs and non-sense free percussion sections to songs. Go full 1969/1970 aesthetic.

Because that's really what's missing. It's not originality, because true originality is jarring to basically everyone, including me and everyone else on this board. It's real commitment to their aesthetic that they're lacking. Basic 2000s rock songwriting and hyper clean 2000s production both detract from their Led Zeppelin imitation. If they go full 1970 prog songwriting with production emulative of the late 60s, they'd definitely win some folk over.

The last truly great rock album was Green Day's garage rock masterpiece Father of All Motherfuckers

I didn't think it was especially good, The Pale Emperor was better, or Beady Eye - Be, or Temples - Sun Structures.

Uncle Acid also produced a better album.

Everything stops being cool the minute Bowie stops doing it. If you have low standards and settle down with listening to a has-been genre which had no soul to offer for decades now, that's your problem, but don't pretend it's anything but cope.

Although none of these had huge hits, unlike elephant

How can something as drenched in irony and obsessed with style be the last great rock?

Not sure what the actual last great rock record was. Appetite for Destruction maybe?

Kys. I'm an amerifag and me and my friends are die hard fans

I can't believe that nu/mu/ is so fucking retarded
I'm this fag and OP is talking about a rock album that was both pretty good and massively mainstream

The only real candidate is MCR's The Black Parade. But that's debatable, cause i don't get that album that much, so my vote is for Elephant. Another choice can be AM by Artic Monkeys, but i guess we can agree that they had nowhere to go with the Stripes

Now in terms of REAL quality, i'm going with this one. Yea Forums is just being contrarian as usual or can't see what a masterpiece LTIY is. Your levels if contrarianism need to be high to pretend that there's a better Unwound album. It's a fucking double album with all incredible tracks, not anyone can do that. Only the Glow Pt.2 is a fair rival, but idk which came first

It’s not great though.
All those bands are highly derivative.
At least pick something that sounds more like modern rock

Is Elephant this generation's "Fleetwood Mac- Rumors" in terms of how broadly popular it is?

How did the White Stripes manage to stand so above the rest of the Blues punk Revival at the time?

The only other band that got close is the Black Keys

an inkling of originality

raw fucking talent
youtube.com/watch?v=NasXc7Z1jFI

as much as people hype up Jack White's obsession with "authenticity" there's no getting around the fact that his best asset is being a bloody good guitarist and a great songwriter, the hipsters trying to emulate his success in the latter half of the 2000s didn't have the pure charisma, youthful energy and riffage present throughout those first four albums

meant for

>Is Elephant this generation's "Fleetwood Mac- Rumors" in terms of how broadly popular it is?
I was 15 when it came out, and was already too schooled on more interesting and rich music to even care for it. So were most of my friends who were into music at the time, same age or a little older. So definitely not that broadly popular, as Rumors was always respected by pretty much everyone.

literally all shit. grow up and listen to adult music already kiddo.

>I was 15 when it came out, and was already too schooled on more interesting and rich music to even care for it.
So you had a Progfag phase?

Nah, always liked music too much to get into restrictive gay ass arguments. I did listen to King Crimson, ELP, Jethro Tull, Soft Machine, Gentle Giant and already made the intersection from that into kraut and RIO. But never thought that was superior to more raw sounds, only would get that from Grand Funk Railroad, Television, Johnny Thunders, or to that mixed with more complex stuff, like Magazine, Pere Ubu or PIL. And even listened, even without understanding too much but interested, to much more complicated stuff like late Miles, John Zorn, Pierre Boulez, Neubauten, John Cage. Those were still somewhat early days of the internet, with a lot of wonder, and people who loved music for real and wanted to discover stuff didn't let themselves as much waste time with fads and getting an inbred taste. We were all firing up Soulseek 24/7 and burning our tiny hard drives with new stuff, from all directions constantly.

Calling Greta Van Fleet great is the same thing as being a sex offender

nah, at least half of those are good picks

>Daughters self titled and "You Won't Get What You Want"

Does Currents count as Rock? Because it's fairly mainstream and decent

What's so bad about "indie"?

That sound became oversaturated like a decade ago, and now is a parody with the likes of Soccer Mommy getting acclaim for doing generic Indie Rock

alt. rock unironically did, but rock itself definitely did not.

there's literally less than five indie artists i would ever want to listen to

name them

i used to really like elliott smith
that first album by the strokes is decent if they count as indie
...that's about it

It’s gotta be Saturday Night Wrist

Daily reminder rock music died with American Don.

that's very little and very basic

AM by the Arctic Monkeys was a huge rock album, although people don't seem to count that one :/

it's very little and very basic because indie rock is not something i've explored in-depth since it largely interests me. i also haven't explored hip-hop very in-depth because i don't care about it.

Of course, it is, these people ave a very basic understanding of music and just dismiss anything with the "Indie" label on it for some reason, even though Jeff Rosenstock and Elliott Smith are absolutely different musicians but are both "indie".

Because it was released in the 2010s where nothing makes a huge impact anymore outside of Adele , the concept of Culture defining Albums is dead sadly

>last truly great rock album
There have been a lot of great rock albums since Elephant. Many are not as well-known as Elephant though. However, if you were to look to albums with the popularity like Elephant, then you could easily consider My Chemical Romance as releasing the last truly great rock albums. My favorite is Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. :)

It's decent but how is it rock?

Priest have teased they're back writing a new album, but at this point in the game I can't see them topping Firepower

Lonerism is definitely rock and also better
