I think the 90s was the last great generation for GOOD music. So many awesome bands. Now what is there? Just check out the iTunes top 10. Justin Beiber, Ke$ha (What!), and a bunch of other auto-tuned crap. There are hardly any actual bands that are popular anymore. Pretty much all pop music is computer generated now. Kind of a shame!
 
BTW, heck yes to Pantera. I totally forgot about them!

I used to think the same way too, but there is some seriously killer music still being made- you just need to dig harder. Forget what's popular, the mainstream doesn't know what good or even real music is. Bands like Gojira, Sheavy, Mastodon, Ghost, Down, Gates of Slumber, Dawnbringer, Daylight Dies, Witchcraft, Skeletonwitch, Warbringer... all some world class musicians that are still putting out amazing music. Of course, it all depends on your taste.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian is quite good, too.

The Chronic
 
can't believe nobody's mentioned it...
 
Also Siamese Dream
Jimmy Chamberlins drums on that album are great
 
also if you said melancholy instead of sd you're just wrong

j/k
but not entirely

Not sure if you were referring to me (see my avatar) or just in geneal-but I agree-Siamese Dream is the better album than MCIS, although it lacks the lacks the monster hits that they are known for. But Mayonaise, Disarm, Soma are untouchable imo.
