PT. CEI CARORA LE PLACE ROCK-UL Options

[cosmin45741]

am deschis acest topic pt a schimba impresii, pareri si sugestii cu privire la muzica rock....

sincer, ce pot sa spun despre mine e ca, spre rusinea mea, pana acum ceva vreme, credeam ca tot ce reprezinta curentul rock s-a oprit undeva la nivelul anilor 90... dar, de cateva luni, am descoperit o groaza de trupe noi, cel putin pentru mine, care canta fabulos de bine...bineinteles, ma refer la coldplay, reamonn, travis, radiohead, portishead, samd....

un alt motiv al deschiderii acestui topic este si acela de a "capata" sugestii din partea fanilor curentului, cu privire la muzica actuala, cu care eu ma simt depasit (neupdatat in fine )...

asa ca go ahead!!!
