[Uday Mohan]

People still get a thrill from (guitar-based) rock? Is it the lyrics, or
the musical content, or the nostalgia for a sound? I've been feeling for
some time that rock had reached some kind of expressive limit, and that
it's carcass began stinking to high heaven after nothing exciting
followed grunge and before Everything But the Girl switched to house
music (just to pick two markers).
