Maybe it's just pop music, but I am excited for this album.

I hope that was a joke!

I feel you, but this exchange did get me thinking: what if that statement ("There's no good music coming out these days.") really meant what many people are trying to say when they talk about how current music sucks: that the style and sound of music they like isn't very common these days?

It brings up an interesting point, right? I meant, tons of people have been influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and the Beatles, to name a few. But who is putting out music these days that sounds like them? Even if it's just revivalists, that's worth something to someone. I'm not saying those people/bands don't exist today: I'm just asking who they are and where they can be found. Extend that question to whatever style you want, because I'm genuinely curious.

Eric,

you have raised a valid point, the UK in the 1960/70's produced some of the best players in the world, but who will take their place? There are some great players out there but due to todays TV contests, only the Justin Beavers of this world will make it (if he played guitar).

Maybe if you are stuck in main stream America, but world wide there is some incredibly good music being released.
