The point I was trying to put across is that bands are getting less and less technically capable by the week, and they may still be able to bang out decent songs, but eventually it's gonna hit rock bottom.

Theres still a lot of great technical music out there, and thats not even including your measly metal bands, try some Flower Kings, Spocks Beard, Porcupine Tree, Ozric Tentacles and Nightwish...There are many original and creative bands out there, Radiohead, Muse, Mars Volta, The Arcade Fire, Godspeed you! Black Emperor, Mostly Autumm, Coheed and Cambria, The Fall of Troy, Mastodon, Sigur Ros, SOAD, Incubus, Between the Buried and Me and more. As Bob Dylan once said, the times are a changing. Art is changing and music is becoming more experimental, its called progression, and music is suposed to progress, not stay at one level forever, if you are too close minded to appreciate that, too bad. But the modern music scene is a hell of a lot better than it was in the 80s.
