Re: “Are the Avett Brothers America's last great rock band?”
I LOVE The Avett Brothers, but I couldn't finish this article... When pretentious rock critics start droning on about how rock was "bloated" & "overbearing", and slam masterpieces like Pink Floyd's "The Wall", they've lost me, because I know they're full of it. If they don't understand great rock that everybody knows, what should make me think they understand great new artists that most everyday people have never heard of?
@ Christopher Dwyer - I think it's perfectly fine to call The Avetts "rock". Rock is a pretty wide category, and "Americana" & "folk" (and even country & bluegrass) cross over into the rock "arena". I really like the idea of mixing The Avetts with artists like The Who, The Kinks, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, The Pretenders, Wilco, The Black Keys, The Alabama Shakes, Indigo Girls, Dawes & LOTS more, including other genres not normally associated with mainstream "rock"!
If it's good, it's good!
