I know it's all a matter of opinion, but I also know, for a fact, that I'm not the only person that feels this way.
The top 5 songs atm according to myspace.com:
1. Find Your Love, by Drake
2. OMG, by Usher
3. Billionaire, by Travis McCoy
4. Drop The World, by Lil Wayne
5. Not Afraid, by Eminem
I really did try to give each of these songs a chance and I'm now suicidal (not really).

Many, many people are not as sad as us lot on here and just listen to music for fun or in the car etc and are not interested in the instruments used or the production or longevity etc. Of course to us it's ridiculous but 9/10 people regard music as a throwaway form of media and nothing else.
I don't like it myself but it has always been the case with popular music and todays media just intensifies that and focuses on the music that guarantees high revenue via adverts etc.
As with everything- don't let it bother you. If you look hard enough there is plenty out there to enjoy and find for yourself and not be spoon fed by the big companies.
