I agree there is nothing to touch the music of your youth, but The Stone Roses for me are outstanding ...even now I will listen to their stuff, waterfall, this is the one, fools gold, the music and the intro to waterfall is something else.

One of my all time favourite bands, finally got to see them live last year and thppit blew me away. They started out with 'I wanna be adored' and those opening bars made me tingle. I am the resurrection is my all time favourite song and they closed the show with it, I was so drunk I nearly cried. Amazing gig one of the best I've ever been to.
I understand what you're saying about music but most of us grew up in the 80s and although I love 80s music it wasn't the best era for music. I do fondly look back at 96 fondly and the explosion of brit pop, I was at college and the Brit pop era eas the soundtrack for that time of my life. Oasis, blur, pulp, bluetones, sleeper, garbage, echo belly, shed seven, charlatans, ash, dinosaur jr, suede, James, cast, the list of bands from the era is endless. The last time when music controlled my life.
Saying that there are still many good bands but there tends to be more manufactured crap than ever at the moment but don't forget there was plenty of manufactured crap in the 90s, 80s and 70s too so it's not a new concept.
But there are still good bands out there, Elbow, Arcade Fire, Coldplay, foals, rifles, arctic monkeys, rudimental, Mumford and sons, Swedish house mafia, passenger, paolo nutini, jack penate, Kasabian, Bombay bicycle club, black keys, Interpol, crystal fighters. Just to name a few
Kasabian blew me away on telly at Glastonbury, wish I had gone just for that. I saw them support oasis three four years ago and they were amazing live.
Just what you're into but as we al get older we reminisce that things weren't as good as when we were young, the this we held dear to ourselves. That mid 90s period will always hold fond memories to me and I doubt any music era will ever come close to that again.
