For the longest time music was sucking big time since our era. And much of it still does. But it is getting better

The Lumineers are pretty decent as are

Mumford and Sons

Of Monsters and Men
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gEVaniPOmU

I dont think we will ever see bands like we had again. But you have to remember. The 60's & 70's and even the very early 80's was an amazing time for music with so many different things exploding on the scene

You're comparing mainstream music today with non-mainstream music in the '70s and '80s. Please don't make me find an example of mainstream '70s music... Pretty please with sugar on top!


Music today is fine, if you just turn of the radio and search it out.

The problem alot of bands have today. Including two of the 3 you listed. Is they basically sound just like 100 other bands out there. Not in style but in sound.
One would never mistake Pink Floyd with the Moody Blues. Or Chicago with Blood Sweat and Tears. Or Boston from Kansas. A lot of todays music Particularly with the heavier stuff. One band sounds a lot like the next

todays music pretty much sucks. i keep trying to give it a chance.......then i come back to reality, and find myself music from the 60's, 70's or 80's. to the point where i don't even listen to radio in the mustang anymore. i plug in a thumb drive with music i've loaded off of my computer, and listent o that.

There is alot of good music out there today, you just have to wade through all the crap to get to it.  If you can't cruise in your mustang to one of these, then yes, stick with the thumb drive...

 I don't think I've listened to mainstream music since I was 10 or 11,I discovered this new radio format in about 68/69 called FM!

  Music is much the same today as it was back then,you have some good stuff and you have the junk they push on the radio. Living in Canada we got stuck with a Canadian content law on our radio and TV,his wasn't all bad tho because some great Canadian acts got airtime they likely wouldn't have otherwise.

  Like Soulyss says there's some really good music out there you just need to find it! Peronally I like anything that's different and clever!  Portishead came out in the early 90's and they caught my attention,also Apocalyptica came along and put a new slant on some terrible music that I found interesting.

  Lately I've been listening to the headstones and dropkick murphy,of course Mumford and sons is had to avoid as it's played to deth on the radio but that doesn't mean it isn't good!

  But when I want to really listen to music I put on some King Crimson,Captain beyond or Floyd,when I get real serious I put on some Bo hanson and crank my castles to 11!!!!! ya my amp has 11 on it........ :devil     cause it's more than 10 isn't it???

The only "new" group I've heard in the last few years that I really like is Alabama Shakes. That girl can flat out sing. :rock :rock :rock :rock

I watch the late night shows and SNL only to see a guys who want to be seen rather than heard.

This is evidenced by drummers who have one floor tom and no rack toms at all stylishly beating the hell out of the drums with basic beats that have zero resemblence to the album track.

They want to be seen so they have no toms in front of them.

Also seen are 3 guitarists flogging away on guitars almost as well as anthony keidis in "give it away" (badly) using downstrokes only and you hear no guitar in the performance but rather the guy with the synth who is standing in the back laying down the entire groove.

They want to be seen so they can't be bothered with trying to play something listenable on the guitar.

Sure, a few new bands who can play somehow slip through but I have no clue what the A&R guys at record labels are thinking when they sign bands who can't perform live.

Then I tune to leno and find "bad company" still rocking it 40 years later.

Alabama shakes is a cool one. There are a few pretty high profile bands over the past couple years doing a similar kind of thing, flat out worshiping 60s and 70s rock (Beatles, Stones, Doors, Dylan kinda stuff) like Tame Impala (who also has a singer that happens to sound exactly like John Lennon and has the Beatles down great) and Foxygen, and Foxy Shazam doing more of an overblown 80s/Queen kind of thing
Also 80s aesthetics and synthpop is trending really hard right now

Define "today's" music. A ton of good stuff made in the last decade, admittedly along with a ton of crap. If you mean since about '08, yes there has been a much higher crap to art ratio. However, I'll be honest; I think most of the older music sucks.


And these are just some of the less mainstream stuff. So much more, its just buried underneath of crap pouring from Kanye, Beiber, Taylor Swift, et al. But if you don't like any of this, you're most likely slightly tone deaf, and more than slightly biased.
