Ten year in December 1999 the Rock Sound magazine (now Rock Zone) published an article called "25 names that marked the 90", in which he reviewed the history and importance of the 25 artists in rock, according to them, had been the most important 90. The groups were, if I remember correctly, Nirvana, Metallica, REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Soundgarden, Green Day, Hole, Faith No More, Jane's Addiction, Beck Rage against the machine, Pavement, Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, Sepultura, Kyuss, Pantera, Beastie Boys and some more I do not remember.
Now, almost 10 years later, I would like to give look at the names, as I have marked the past 10 years. I honestly do not think that this decade has been as prolific as before, but there are groups that deserve very remarkable move to Olympus and the history of rock.
- Muse: far is that debut, Showbiz, which based on big pop melodies and elaborate guitar lines, putting an end to the prolific 90. With the arrival of the new decade began the maturity of a group that has always taken steps forward in their music, increasingly baroque and yet catchy. Now they are # 1 around the world with The Resistance due to the expectation generated by a group you know you'll be surprised and the quality no doubt (for me, The Resistance is their worst album, by the way). Disco
recommended: Absolution (2003)
-System of a down: Since they spent the previous post, so there is little to say, at least in their work. Yes I would add that have been able to reach everyone, they love to metalheads to punk, to alternative to rock, and even poligonera like to say that rock only listen to them. There must be some. Disco
recommended: Toxicity (2001)
-Queens of the Stone Age: The dissolution of a cult like Kyuss served to make clear the great talent who treasure each and every one of its members. And while Brant Bjork, Brother or Eagles of Death Metal have released great albums, the biggest success of both public and critical corresponds to QOTSA. Or maybe I should say to Josh Homme, a real leader and only permanent member of a group that has even gone as David Grolh battery. Disco
recommended: Songs for the deaf (2002)
-The Mars Volta: Like QOTSA, the group born after the dissolution of another who had penetrated deep into the underground scene, At the drive-in. Two members wanted to go there (yet) and after dissolving the commercial bit ATD-I, formed the business to be even less progressive, experimental, hallucinogenic and colossal magnitude, the mars volta. The quality of his songs is proportional to its live energy, besides having a magical hypnotism only available to bands like Radiohead (hey, I'm not saying that look) and Led Zeppelin. Disco
recommended: De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003)
-Coldplay: No need to say much about them, are certainly the most popular of all this list, one of the few groups whose sales is in line with its quality. With a sound like early Radiohead, but more polished and commercial, have hit the mark with each new album that have been learned. Disco
recommended: A rush of blood to the head (2002)
-Slipknot: Beyond its aesthetics and its dubious degree of madness have managed to stand out from other similar groups of two very powerful reasons: their musical technicality and reinvent know quite gradual, something that some of his staunchest fans have been reprimanded but they certainly have allowed them to age much better than so have groups that no one expected anything like Korn, Deftones, Mudvayne, or Limp Bizkit. Disco
recommended: Vol 3 The Subliminal Verses (2004)
-Incubus: Elegant, powerful, energetic, with a wide variety of songs and styles, a great live, a great singer who is also handsome ... They had everything to make it big, and some of their albums did, but this alternative rock band, which began touring with Korn and Rammstein on the Family Values \u200b\u200bhas finished in the second row of the mainstream. It is true that his later albums are a couple of notches below its infancy, but have always been at a high level also have found (from their third album), a personality that moves away at the end of the continuous comparisons with Faith No More and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Disco
preferred view Morning (2001)
-Avenged Sevenfold: The heavy metal century. This could define Avenged Sevenfold, a group that should be compared to the greatest of the genre, and which have nothing to envy people like Judas Priest and Helloween. Okay, not Maiden, but we're not in the 80 and you're a good record of current heavy, this is your group. Disco
recommended: City Of Evil (2005)
-Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes: They are the main bearers of the current musical excellence in the XXI century rock. Melodic but distorted guitars with touches seventies, sometimes dancing and generally quite commercial. Every year one of fall headlining the FIB or Primavera. No doubt I'll stick with the Kaiser Chiefs, and then with the Strokes. Recommended discs
: KC - Employment (2005)
TS - Is This It (2001)
-Foo Fighters: Although at first no one could mention to the FF without reminding the group that played before Dave Grolh battery gradually have gained self-respect, with some discs really good, until you reach a point where Grolh is known to be the leader of Foo Fighters, one of the best alternative rock bands century.
