Question:

A question for those of you who mostly listen to classic rock....what are some newer artists you like?

Newer being 90s-now. Most of the musicians I listen to came out in the 60s and 70s (a lot before then as well). So, do you have any suggestions for newer bands? Some "newer" ones that I enjoy are....

The Black Crowes
Wilco
Radiohead
My Morning Jacket
Porcupine Tree
Old Crow Medicine Show
Abigail Washburn
Neutral Milk Hotel (started in 1989)
The Black Keys
Ayreon
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Jeff Buckley

...for me, that's as new as it gets. Any suggestions?

Oh, and just so you know...I despise bands such as Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, AFI and the like. So, please don't suggest them.


Answers:

Ever heard of William Elliott Whitmore? His voice has been described as a cross between Tom Waits and Johnny Cash. His soulful tunes can move anybody...he's brilliant. I wish more people new about him.

Some others you might enjoy:

Chris Whitley
Rufus Wainright
Andrew Bird
Rose Hill Drive
Blackfield
Drive-By Truckers
Sigur Rós
The Blue Van
The Decemberists
Medeski, Martin and Wood
Opeth
Widepsread Panic (they've been active since 1986, but they deserve a mention)

Of course, when put up against the greats the musicians I mentioned fall short. Most of the music I listen to is also from the 60s and 70s...I love to go to concerts, but it's hard when most of the bands you listen to are broken up or dead :-(
