**************************************************

The Naughties might just be the last decade of great rock music. There is a lot of great stuff out there, but it doesn't cut through the rap and pop BS. It's weird Blackholes & Revelations is gone. It was really the last great Muse record. Kings of Leon is also a band that was really good at the start. They got a lot bigger, but they didn't get better.
