issues:
red hot chili peppers - "by the way"
this 'we can have contemplative emotional bits as well anthemic choruses and hard rocking stomp bits and fit it all in the same song to appeal to every pleasure zone' madness will kill us all! (see also: nickelfuck)
pink - "don't let me get me"
a better trend: totally unrocking digital rock! (see also: a good half of the no doubt album; "escape" by enrique.) i don't know why this is a good thing but i like the sound of it. (looking at pink's album credits on cdnow it seems she has put together the greatest team in the history of music! no really, check it: linda perry - bass, fender rhodes, guitar, synthesizer, drum programming; richie sambora - guitar; scratch - beatbox; dallas austin - arranger, producer; scott storch - producer. i'm downloading the rest of the record now, it had better be good.)
