On the Strokes- I'm not sure if its a good thing. I personally havnt been able to get into them, but the wave of post punk revival bands they brought with them Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, These New Puritans, The Horror's (second album), The XX have mostly been great. Though on the other hand, you get Editors, The Rapture, Bloc Party, The Killers, and White Lies. As a whole, though, I'm glad the movement took off, even if it is slowing down.
On Garbage, aye great band, but yeah when I said production, I did mean Butch Vig. But not necessarily his Nevermind, Dirty, or Siamese Dream production. I really think that modern producers took the cue from his Garbage output.
On Tom Petty, sorry if I'm being harsh, but I firmly believe Tom Petty, Steve Miller Band, and Boston make up the holy trinity of classic rock mediocrity. Again, not necessarily bad, but downright mediocre and undeserving of airplay. Except Fly Like An Eagle, but that goes without saying.
