Yes there is plenty of good music being made today if you know where to find it. I tired of classic rock stations years ago and most of the music made during that time. And of course i learned a few of them just to satisfy my aging friends and family members.
There are some great radio stations out there that their format is Americana that includes music from the past to the latest offerings. Tom

I wouldn't worry, music tends to be "self-correcting". As any music wins widespread popularity, it tends to get more and more complex until it becomes meaningless and collapses under its own weight. The collapse gives birth to a simpler, more meaningful form that starts the process over again.

My view point
After all of these years to me video killed the radio song in more ways then one, while I have no problem with the entertainment of performers there was never any separation form music and performance ( ie: dancing and stage shows and such ).
And then we saw the video ( Much music ) starting to move the line from musical performance to a full blown stage show's and we saw things that took the musical parts out of shows performers like Madonna/ Brittany Spears who started to sexualize the music and then we went to lip sync performing so they couldn't sing live in front of audiences. I have no problem for those that want to do performance shows and use auto tuning or voice overs or even electronic music but we need to not see these as music performers as they are nothing more in my mind but entertainers who do shows for ones entertainment. I really do not want to go to a concert and see young girls out there who are dancing around semi naked and say I went to listen to music we know why but it doesn't make it right or even good music. Now a days it just seems not very many are interested in the actual sound or songs or how well they play except for a very few and guess what we are the very few. It is really up to us to steer the young generation to see and feel the music that is in them and to try and stay pure to actually playing instruments and to insist that the entertainment part is not part of their shows, remember this. Teach teach your children well only time will tell. born in the early 1950's and will love those that were before me and made beautiful noise for those on this earth to enjoy and hopefully brings them happiness and a smile to their face and I am doing my part by getting my grand kids interested in MAKING BEAUTIFUL NOISE. ship |

Telling young people their popular music is crap is one of the duties of old age.

Observing all this, both the threads that talk about it and the cultural changes, what I see is simply the world around us changing and many of us from the "way things were" not wanting to accept that.
As an adult, I have tried to put myself in my Dad's place when I hear, say, a Beatles tune. He grew up on music played by skilled musicians in the form of big band, singers performing the Great American Songbook, and the like. Then come along the Beatles and me-too groups, with all the screaming, pounding, and guitar slinging. I would not have wanted to live through the 1960s as an older adult. It must have been really scary to see society as they knew it, disintegrate into riots, drugs, and other forms of major civil disobedience. It must have been a real shock to him and folks like him. Now, it is our turn. Tony

As pointed out above, Jimi Hendrix got booed when he opened for The Monkees. One of my favorite stories is when Jackson Browne was getting ready to play the MUSE festival, Springsteen was scheduled to be on later. Someone told him - "If if sounds like they're booing, they're not. They're just yelling BRUUUUUCE!". Jackson Browne replied - "What's the difference?" There is a lot of good music out there - it's just not on radio...or at least terrestrial radio. On satellite and streaming, you can narrowcast any type or style you want....and there's some good (real) music coming out that's not just a collection of sampled beats - Mumford and Sons, Dawes, St. Paul and The Broken Bones, Leon Bridges, Avett Brothers - and tons of others. You just have to look for them. Speaking of good music - I have to give a plug for my high school buddies (even though we've been out of high school for a long time). http://www.wooldridgebrothers.com/ Here's a sample vid. There's a lot more.
