Queens of the Stone Age represent everything that is and should be in 21st century rock. With a screaming undercurrent of rage and haughty sophistication, QOTSA level out their wickedly tuned rhymes with a percussion which varies between fast and hard, and slow and loud, with the eerie and slightly addictive vocals of frontman Josh Homme (former member of Kyuss).
The songs in Songs for the Deaf are creepy and foreign to the ear, but one gets a taste for them, and the Queen's originality really shines through, in this album perhaps more than any other.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is Oasis' best album. Combining their trademark of soft, catchy lyrics and genuinly cool, collected rock, the album generates a heated view of 20th century rock with a rythmatic underbelly of anger, poise, jealosy and drunkeness.
Noel's lazy, unimformed vocals combined with the bands swaying rythem section and steady percussion, suggest a level of sophistication that adds to the awe of the whole thing. Wonderwall, argueably their best hit, is a perfect example of what Oasis has to offer.

Guns N' Roses introduced (or plunged rather) the bawdy, dirty, bluzy hard-rock addictive rhythmatic sensation back into the world of rock n roll when they released their first album, Appetite for Destruction, in 1987. They were the excitement or AC/DC, the magic riffs of Aerosmith and the originality and wildness of Led Zeppelin rolled into one temperamental, dirty lot of rough-housing boys asserting their grip on mainstream rock n' roll with a raunchy, startling attitude, achieving amazing success.

The gunners were probably one of the last great rock n' roll bands that ever existed, their music was reckless and in-your-face, they were the rowdy, unsatisfied youth with too much to say and no one to hear. Rock and roll was an expression, and no one expressed themselves better than Guns N’ Roses.
