CreedBG · 01-03-2011, 03:23 PM

I'm sad to see one of my favorite genres to fall from the mainstream.
In 2010 we see no post-grunge song break the top 20 charts. Daughtry's song "September" was №36 and that's the only top 40 this year.
We have new albums from post-grunge artists such as Alter Bridge, Lifehouse, Saving Abel, My Darkest Days and Hinder, but so far without any presence in the spotlight. Daughtry's 2009 album "Leave This Town" is the last pure post-grunge album topping the billboard 200. Creed did very good debuting #2, but its poor compared to the old times.
I hope that year 2011 will be better for post-grunge with big names like 3 Doors Down, Foo Fighters, Nickelback and Scott Stapp all release new albums.
And electronic influenced indie rock is gaining much more attention than before. Are we witnessing shift in rock music?
