The time has come to confront the elephant in the room. Of all the things wrong with society today, the fact that rock bands are generally shut out of modern music is right near the top.

We get into this dilemma with our good friend, The Old Boy Himself Ryan Blake as we take a look at some great new(ish) rock bands doing great rock band things in the year 2024. TOP TEN ROCK BANDS OF 2024 Part 1 features picks 10-6 in our attempt to show that Rock is not dead and the world wants and needs great bands!

Folks, you don't need me to tell you this is a stressful time. Fortunately for us here in the good ol' US of A, we have several options for releasing stress. In this country we have the right to listen to music. Believe it or not music is strictly forbidden in some places. That's because the powers that be know music has a way to galvanize people like no other art form. Another way to relieve stress is to exercise your right to vote. It's the most valuable thing we have, this freedom of choice. It's such an incredible thing that people take it for granted. Well not anymore! With the future bearing down on us, we're enlisting the incomparable Nina Jo Smith to help us count down our favorite Songs About Choice. Use it while you got it, my friends! Picks 10-6 are featured here in Part 1.
