Personally Im kinda offended when I hear that 'music today sucks.' There are plenty of extremely talented artists out there, but they may not be in the mainstream yet. For the most part people seem to think that music was only good during a particular period of time. Just like everyone thinks SNL was awesome when they were 14-17 but thinks everything before and after sucks. The reasons ppl think SNL sucked before was that they didnt get the jokes and after because they no longer found that type of humour funny - needed more edgy, biting, sophisticated, whatever. For music, its always been awesome but you probably arent 'in the loop' anymore. You may be listening to your old favs at the expense of looking into new bands.
Check out these guys:
MGMT - if you like radiohead, the cure, david bowie
Modest Mouse - completely original, I cant even begin to compare them to anyone. their newest CD is terrific
Band of Horses - if you like the Arcade Fire
Neverending White Lights - seem to fall into the Arcade Fire liking crowed as well, I heard he's awesome live
Bright Eyes - if you like modern day folk music
Two Gallants - ibid (to repeat from my last thread)
Blitzen Trapper - ibid
I guess thats who Im listening to alot of these days, I'll post more but none of those songs is more than 2 yrs old. Ill post more when I have time.
