music these days....

You stated that "Nothing good has happened in music since 1979." I think that in itself is an admission that you are the one who isn't "into music". It's the same old "they don't make good music anymore" story that just doesn't hold water.

Actually/unfortunately the 70's brought us Whitesnake. I don't really think the argument is that one does or doesn't like a particular style of music or group, etc. but that there has been no good music in general produced in the last 25 years. That's a little different than say me being a big fan of punk rock and not liking Dream Theater. At least I'm listening and I know who Dream Theater is...know what I mean? I'm not so closed-minded that I just write everything else off as crap. I'll at least listen to it first before I deem it crap :-) By far the biggest misnomer is that there is no good rock anymore. Maybe on pop radio and MTV there isn't any good rock being played but there is some seriously great stuff in recent years. You like Neil Young? Try a Built To Spill album! You like The Who? Buy a Nuggets boxset and discover a wealth of bands who were just as good but didn't quite "make it". Like Pink Floyd then try The Orb or Porcupine Tree. People are just so lazy that it's easier for them to say they just don't good music anymore.

even hip hop is dead. same old soup re-heated a million times.we need a musical revolution once again. as beyonce would say to the left to the left.but there is hope like the bands wolfmother and the sword .

Synthfreek; it's called hyperbole. Maybe you should read a book once in awhile instead of just listening to crappy music.

I have to agree with the sentiment that new music is in the dumper. Another big problem are the people who listen to it. It would go away if the ignorant mindset would change. Just drive down a main street anywhere and doubtless you will come across some idiot will have his windows down no matter what the weather and pushing mindless rap on the rest of the world.
