While he's right, his style of rock was hardly highly-regarded as forward-thinking rock music.
While I do enjoy some songs like Pompeii,Radioactive etc i feel like rock bands these days just go for the hits and not really for the creativity like how it was in the past.
Man, you guys talk about how Beyonce, Gaga, Britney, etc are "icons," "legends" but no.. real legends are bands like The Beatles, Coldplay, U2, Linkin Park, Metallica, Nirvana.. those are icons/legends. LP changed mainstream music with Hybrid Theory.

I agree. Most of these "alternative" songs are pop disguised as "alternative." I always thought a group like fun. was just an "alternative" version of Maroon 5.
