Help me discover some new music...

Rebbi do you use Spotify or MOG? It's free but with commercials every 5 songs or so. My wife and I pay ten bucks for premium service. No commercials and we have access on our iPhones and iPad and can just hook right into my main system, or listen on the go or in the car.I highly recommend this approach for you as you have access to 30 million songs and really complete catalogs from most major artists. You can sample tens of thousands of musicians before you buy CDs or decide to listen to Spotify or MOG without buying the CDs . Spotify and MOG do offer suggested material when listening to an artist.
Here are other great ways I find new music.
Pitchfork , online music mag. Search for the best reviewed albums, although they have panned albums I find near perfect.
Best of music threads here. I discovered Ben Howard this way.
On AudioCircle I look at what are you listening to now threads. Also in the Salk Circle there is a fantastic thread on reference recordings with great music of course.
NPR , First Listen and Tiny Desk Concerts and listen to public Radio.
My wife explores a lot of new music and sends me the bands she thinks I will like. Lucky my wife is a musicphile.
As others gave mentioned , branch out from classic rock to Alternative Pop, Alt. country has been a revalation for me and I dislike Country music. I discovered Jazz a few years ago as well. Blues and Bluegrass can be great as well. I listen to a lot of male singer song writers such as Ray Lamontagne and David Grey, Martin Sexton etc.
Sample, listen, explore, branch out, and most importantly discover new music that makes you happy.

Rok2kid , the only thing dismal is your attitude. You are so wrong. So keep your ba humbug attitude , and keep listening to the same old crap. I really pity closed minded people.
There is tons of great music coming out everyday, but you will never enjoy it , because you are negative.
Certainly , don't discourage others who yearn to seek out great new music, to adopt your ridiculous notion that there is no great new music.

Rebbi , You never answered my question if you listen to Spotify or Mog? Great way to listen to tens of thousands of bands.
Have you tried any new bands that you are enjoying?
I highly reccomend listening to Ben Howard's first release called, A New Kingdom.
Also,here is a link to the top 50 albums of 2012 as chosen by WYEP our local public radio station here in Pittsburgh.
There are many fantastic albums listed in here. Included are 30 second samples of each album.

Rock2kid, I would say that music scene today is far more divergent and is teeming with talent and innovation, then in the sixties and seventies.
There are tens of thousands of bands, and never has it been easier to listen and explore new music. You tube, Spotify , MoG, Rapsody, Sirrus etc.
Regarding your post , where are the next Rolling Stones, Elvis etc., my wife and I were discussing the new world of the music industry. There are few bands today playing stadiums like The Stones, Who and Zepplin did, but that does not mean that there are not many bands who can equal or surpass their talent in playing,recording, and touring. The musical climate dictates that many of these fantastic bands are not going to reach the stratospheric heights of these MEGA bands. So, the awesome bands of today, such as Wico, you will get to see in a small intimate theater that seats less than 2000 people. In my opinion there are alot of bands in the mix today that have the talent,creativity,and musical chops to equal the Mega bands of the sixties and seventies.
