Sorry Roadie... your generation isn't special when it comes to making music. There there are bands out there making compelling music. Their popularity is almost always inverse to their quality and thats always been the case.

Its also always been the case that there is far more chaff than wheat. The only difference now is there is more chaff, since tools now make it easy for anyone to make the kind of bland stuff that most people like.

Every generation thinks they stopped making good music after they grew up. It doesn't. Old people just don't put in the time they used to looking for music. But true fanatics keep looking. True fanatics don't have 300 recordings they have 20,000 recordings.

"In my day we had melodies in music." David Crosby - angrily denouncing punk... yes that David Crosby who was a hippie on a Harley armed with a 45. Personally I think CSNY is the Lawrence Welk of their generation.

People don't buy music because of its "quality" otherwise Mozart, Beethoven and Ellington would be huge parts of peoples collections.

People buy music that validates their world view. Rednecks buy country. Ganstas buy rap. Nazis buy white power metal. White guys in the suburbs buy...
