I like both. For the longest time, I refused to listen to anything but classic rock, but lately I've been getting into some newer bands that have a lot of the same spirit that my favorite older ones do and are inspired by them. 
New School of Rock vs. Old School of Rock

The only band I like that you mention is the Mars Volta the rest are overly commercial and lack that spirit that the Volta boys capture which reminds me of a lot of the classic rock/punk/folk acts. Their 20min songs are awe inspiring and have an undeniable passion and depth.
On another not am I the only one who finds The Beatles zzzzzzzz?

And they should! I looooove The Stones, I bought frontstage tickets for their concert in Amsterdam next summer, CAN'T WAIT!
To me, they ARE the greatest rock band in the world and they always will be. B) So, old school it is!

I love the Stones too, and Led Zep and the Beatles, The Doors, The Who, and so many more, classic rock is my ultimate favorite. But I also listen to some new stuff, the new "good stuff"
The sad thing is that I dont think there's ever gonna be a comeback, well some bands are trying to but bands like Fall Out Boy or Panic at the Disco, (sorry to all the fans of these guys) they are the bands of today and they are what majority of the youth of today likes (not me
shock:. Everyone in my class, sings Fall out Boy songs, everyday, and I'm so tired of it. Ok so maybe not everyday but most of the time. They even won a grammy. So I think these bands are gonna stay, and stop rock n' roll. Life is sad.
So please guys help me build a time machine.

I like rock from all eras from the 50s to today. Its silly to rule music out just because its new, but I agree that on the surface it can seem like there isn't anything good out at the moment. In terms of the charts, there seems to be a higher ratio of bad music then there used to be. But then again, maybe I just have an idealised view of the past because of the movies, photography and music associated with it. I didn't live through the 50s, 60s, 70s, so I don't know what it was like to experience the music when it was new.
