I’m a rock/jazz/blues/country musician with loads of on stage exp. My opinion is there hasn’t been a decent rock song produced in over 20 yrs. Don’t get me wrong, there has been many good pop songs and other genres, but really no great rock tunes at all.

I agree
I watch those Glastonbury events on MTV every so often. Every group sounds alike. Back in the old days every rock group had distinct sound..Kiss, Aerosmith, REO, Doobie Bros.
Rare today to catch a catchy tune the first time your hear it know it’s going to be a hit.
Sadly, I have to agree. There just isn't the interest and support for what we call rock-n-roll (to borrow a line from Dire Straits).
Lots of stuff called music, and some stuff that actually -is- music, but a negligible amount of great rock produced in this century so far. Why do you think everybody with any taste listens to "Classic Rock" stations?
I know what you mean. I do think my fellow Nevadans, The Killers, pack a lot of rock punch with their power pop, though.

There’s been plenty, at least to my ears. They just don’t get played on any widespread format anymore like they used to be. Popular music went in another more crappy direction, like every thing in our culture seems to do eventually. All of the retro-rock type stuff that came out in the last 20 years never never got any widespread format exposure like bands did 40 years ago.
