Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

Ok Frog, glad you are digging the Raconteurs! I like Jack White as well, but to me these two albums are near flawless.
Ok , so that makes me two for two with the Frog. ;-)
I am still working on my list for essential albums / bands in the Pop Rock and singer songwriters. There will be some Alt. Country as well. My list is over 80 albums strong!
Frog, ( and anyone else who dares) the next band I would love you to test drive is Alt. J . They won best new band in England this year. When I first heard this band I was like, what the hell is this??!! In a great way though . The connection was immediate .
The album is called, An Awesome Wave. And what a ride it is!!
Be prepared to hear a voice and sound unlike any other band.
Start with these selections : Tessallate, Breezeblocks, please crank up the volume for Fitzpleasure ! , Something Good, Matilda
An open mind is needed for this band as the lead singers voice may sound like Kermit the Frog . But the music , his voice , works together to create a musical experience that must be heard to be believed.
Enjoy!!

Sadly, most folks posting here on aGon (self excluded) regarding rock music - DO NOT have decent taste in it...
Notec, I listen to Alternative Rock/ alternative Pop, Alt Folk,Alt Country, in other words bands not found on commercial radio. You will find these bands played on Public radio, NPR etc...
I have also found that some members here have introduced me to some great bands/albums which I find really enjoyable !
Please Notec, enlighten us with music from your impeccable taste. I have found the 2013 best album thread a bit weak as you have noticed as well. Not all the worst as you said, in fact I am really enjoying the New Vampire Weekend album alot!!
You are so quick to put down others suggestions as crap , but I have yet to get a viable suggestion from you. So, what are you listening to these days?
I as am sure many others would welcome your input being that are taste sucks , as yours does not.
A much better list. Not mine, but I like it.

Marty, I believe the simplest melodies are in fact the best but all it has to be is good. I consider all the older stuff to be in that category even though some of it may be more involving. It's when you get into the 'complicated territory' that things seem to fall apart. As I mentioned before, Bowie pretty well scraped the bottom of the barrel imo.
