You are right, there isn't a lot of rock in the top 40.
I blame the radio bias(Fuck Clear Channel) towards big record label artists.
I would rather hear local rock bands than another god damn Rihanna(but i sure do like looking at her!)
It seems like Jack White and a bunch of other artists have a rock and roll movement going on in Nashville right now.
He also has an album coming out but I haven't had time to get into it.

I think with time, the kid will find his own voice, but I think he'll always have that Robert Plant thing. Just like Steve Perry from Journey had the Sam Cooke vibe going on in his vocals. This band is between the ages of 18-22. If they keep going, imagine what they will sound like by the time they are in their 30's? I love it! I still have bands that are my all-time favs that I will always go back to. But, I love the idea of some young bucks wanting to create brand new music with an old style that I can get into. I'm only in my 40's. I don't feel I'm too old to go to music festivals and have a good time. Bands like this are perfect for music festivals. In fact, they are attending a big festival that's not too far from me. Only problem is, the same weekend as the beerfest I attend every year. LOL! Priorities ya know! LOL!
