i think my status quo just changed

Why do you say that? Quo concerts are always packed with people of all ages enjoying themselves, including the band. Rock 'n roll was originally dance music & doesn't need to have deep significant, meaningful & usually depressing lyrics to be good. I think we had much more fun in the old days. Bring back rock 'n roll I say.

Often the simple things in life are the best. You should try it some time.

It's basically 3 chord rock 'n roll Paz. Chuck Berry stuff  although they're far better than most people give them credit for. I doubt very much that Status Quo would be popular in the US as you have many similar home-grown bands.

What do you listen to then?

I can't believe people can't enjoy listening to the Quo. They have some bloody catchy songs and damn do they rock. Some of their earlier stuff wasn't that simple either.

I dare anyone to listen to Caroline and not at least tap their foot.

Good for Quo I say 8)

Most modern "rock" music is very simple these days. I'd say rock music reached it's peak of complexity in the 60's and 70's anyway.

I think we need to separate the "commercial" rock from the "genuine" rock.... Commercialising any kind of music makes it bubblegum that gets chewed over and over again. I have a big problem with the socalled "alternative" rock in the skate-style... you know, the Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Greenday etc. Stuff. They all had some nice tunes, but it gets kinda repetitive to me, always those powerguitars, same vocal-styles etc. It all becomes so alike, certainly when it's getting more and more airplay at the popular radio-stations. Yet I believe there are some really inventive and motivated bands out there that take this particular style of music to a higher level... We need new things people... we need it bad!
