No good new music?

Curious as to how many 2002 new releases people bought this year - I bought a lot of music this year in general, but also felt like there was a lot of good new release this year as well. Being nearly the end of the year, I looked at my music inventory spreadsheet for how many 2002 releases I had and came up at >40.

How many 2002 releases have some of you purchased? It seems like this is some measure of how much good "new" music there is out there.

For 2002 release dates I've purchased two this month: Sigur-Ros "( )", and Godspeed You Black Emperor! "Yanqui U.X.O.". Not sure about the release dates of the other cd's as they are at home.

I purchased approx. 2-3 cd's and/or vinyl per month. I too have to say it was the "older" acts that impressed me the most this past year. In addition to those mentioned already, I was very happy with the reissues of Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Bob Dylan's "Essential" compilation, which IMHO was remastered beautifully. I also enjoyed Bryan Ferry's new release "Frantic."

I've seen over 30 live shows this year and think it's the best year for art in music for the last 25+ years. To fully appreciate art you have to experience it first hand. There's plenty happening now. Go to live music .Buy Steve Earles latest and see Springsteen and then sit and listen and concider there merits.
