Sooner or later, the life span of your favourite artist or music group will come to an end. It's very important that you come to grips with that and realize that there are fresh, young bands out there that will become just as important as your music of the past. If you choose not too, then good luck listening to Led Zeppelin for the next 20 years.
As for me, I've come to realize that the majority of my favourite rock groups are now in their 40's and probably won't be around too much longer. It sucks to say that but it's true. Here is a list that I created to say hello to the old and new generation of my music...
The Offspring
Stone Temple Pilots
Our Lady Peace
Goo Goo Dolls
Alice In Chains
Metallica
Motley Crue
GN'R
Chris Cornell
Filter
Weezer
U2

Default
Breaking Benjamin
Three Days Grace
Trapt
Red
Rise Against
Shinedown

Chickenfoot
Chickenfoot is another rock supergroup composed of Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Chad Smith. Yay!
Well, not exactly. I don't see anything special about this band. I mean, all four of these men are in the 50s and after hearing their album, it's the same thing. Boring. You would figure that they would be more creative instead of singing and rocking out to songs about girls and partying. Like honestly, it's been done to death and this shit sucks.
Sammy Hagar singer sings "Oh yeah! Come on girl, tell me what you want!" Who are you speaking too? Your wife? The forty-five year old in the bar? Or is it one of your daughter's friends?
Either way, I'm not down with their music. I'm sorry. Check them out if you want.

Worst Rock Albums of 2000s
Check out this hilarious list of the "Worst Rock Albums of The 2000s" on Ultimate Guitar. It's a great list and it's absolutely hilarious! Here are a few blurbs from the site.
12. Guns N Roses: "Chinese Democracy" (2008)
Nobody expected a masterpiece but to spend so long producing such a steaming pile of shit is almost hilarious. It is bereft of anything even resembling listenable music and is as charming as Axl Rose himself.
Despite some relatively positive reviews from critics upon its initial release, "Chinese Democracy" has aged as nicely as full fat milk left in direct sunlight for 12 months. An absolute stinker!
10. Puddle Of Mudd: "Life On Display" (2003)
Puddle of Mudd? Puddle of shit more like. As 2003's "Life On Display" showed, there was an unfortunate problem in the music industry at the turn of the century that meant dire rock bands somehow managed to grace the mainstream. Thankfully, however, hindsight exposes this terrible flaw and allows us to add the US band's terrible album into our worst of the decade countdown.
07. Nickelback: "All The Right Reasons" (2005)
Aka the album which spawned "Rockstar", one of the worst songs in the world. Normally that would be enough for inclusion on any worst albums list, but worse, "All The Right Reasons" also features a whole succession of turgid sub-Grunge rubbish featuring the strained vocals of Sarah Jessica Parker, sorry- Chad Kroeger.
In a career of awful music, Nickelback reached their nadir with this album.
Thanks, Ultimate Guitar!
