I'm sure they are out there. I'm more specifically wondering why one hasn't been as big as American Idiot? We haven't had that breakthrough album that hit the mainstream like that.

Maybe it just suffers by comparison. They tried to replicate what made LotR so special and they couldn't reach those heights again. PJ said that at its core, LotR was about Frodo taking the ring to Mt Doom. And this one should have focused more on Bilbo's journey, but it went in too many directions.

I was watching BotFA and thinking, "This has to be because of Marvel." Non-stop battle slop with lots of sloppy CGI. The stakes of that fight were not worth an entire movie being a battle. Also, Thorin gets sucked into the gold floor and THAT'S what brings him to his senses? Ugh.
