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.

There's a lot of good new music out there. The way you listen has much to do with whether or not you will find it worthwhile. If you simply listen once, maybe not even all the way through and declare it bad, well.
I'm sure we can all recall a few albums that took some work to find out how good they were. That hasn't changed. Sometimes it takes work but it's worth it in the long run.
