Pharrell is good to be fair, especially if you include the stuff he did with Clipse.

The Roots.

My problem is that I never hear anything that I consider new anymore. It's just recycled ideas. Like when Black Sabbath's first album came out, there never was anything like it before. It's been over ten years since I can name a new album I felt that way about.

It's not a slight against the current musicians. It's just that rock has mostly been filled in and there is little unique left to do.

Albums like that often only pop up once every ten years, though.

Not even that. That's like once a century.

EDIT: okay, that was bit of an exaggeration. Maybe every 20 years

The music album in its earliest form came around in the early 1800s, if Wikipedia is to be trusted. This means that the only albums ever to have made a truly world-changing impact are Black Sabbath's debut and some archaic classical recording from two hundred years ago or something. So yeah, every twenty years makes a bit more sense.

I just discovered the band Asking Alexandria and their single Moving On today. And I'm constantly finding other new artist every otherday so, there's plenty of new music out there to go around if you just look for it.

I like hearing all the different influences from all decades being implemented by modern rock/metal bands of today.

Whenever I hear this anywhere I roll my eyes and can't keep my mouth shut. It's such a stupid thing to say, and it only shows that you're incapable of trying new things. I've made it a life long goal to never say this ever. I look towards the past and see amazing things I have missed over the years, and I look towards the future in great anticipation of what is to come.

I personally have only been exploring music seriously for the past year-and-a-bit, so I'm still "discovering" well-known artists from 50 years ago, and most of the music I listen to dates from the '60s and '70s. But I will never state that that music is better than today's. I haven't explored today's music scene much, but I like a lot of what I've heard other than the typical Top 40 pop.

After I registered here, I've discovered a lot of new bands and broadened my taste. I used to think that '60s and '70s music was the only good music out there, but now I mostly listen to stuff from the '80s onwards.

There's not less good music, there's more bad music.
At the top end you have record companies more interested in profits and selling mass marketed music, at the bottom end any idiot can cheaply record an album and put it out over the net.

The good stuff is hidden somewhere in the middle.
