Personally you can keep 'massive bands', overblown and half-baked like Coldplay, unlistenable U2, et al. Kings of Leon (whatever), Snow Patrol (?), Muse. People latch on to bands like football teams. Take Oasis in the 1990's. Oasis v Blur and all that nonsense (1-2, by the way.) The Stones' best stuff is arguably their least commercial. The Stone Roses made one good album, some of it which doesn't stand up to the test of time, and Ian Brown has a 'reedy' voice. The good music is out there and it doesn't have to be massive. Take REM. They became huge but became useless in the process. Oasis' incredibly overated first two albums (but hugely commercially successful) were followed by dirge after dirge. I couldn't bear another 'massive band' to come along and create another cultural lowpoint like Oasis and 'Britpop' did in the 1990's, grown adults running around dressing like I did when I was 12. 40 year old lads. Do me a favour! Go and listen to some world music. We like our food from all over the world but people can be so blinkered when it comes to music.
