I think the Aracade Fire are a good band but are very overrated in my opinion.. there not one of the greatest bands of all time(not that anyone said they were or will be).. and i doubt they ever will be.. there just one of the very few good canadain bands.. thats why there so noticed.. cause everything else that comes out of canadain sings in Las Vegas.. and or are pop "punk" or so they say they are bands.. which well are doing great in south america for some strange reason.. anyway you get my point

but as you all know as for newer like rock bands i like what some would say are crap.. you know Cold, Breaking Benjamin, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, and others.. Pearl Jam, Radiohead, etc..

i was stuck back into ONLY liking old music.. classic rock and metal. Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, John Lennon, the Beatles, Iron Maiden.. etc..

anyways it wasn't until i really heard Cold that i got back into newer music. I always liked Nirvana, and Matchbox 20, and the Goo Goo Dolls. but i found myself more open to other bands.. better and or jsut as good bands..

i think there is more or just as much crap nowa days, but only its more noticed now because of the media. I mean i went through my "fathers" records and he had lots of crap there.. many 45's that were made i think to break when mad at the record player that works when it wants to kind of thing. i mean there were so many crap bands back then.. just dj's wouldn't play it.. and when they did if no one liked it, they stopped playing it. unlike now it doesn't matter because there's so many people liking music for so many reason other then if its good writing, singing, and playing and or playing live.. now its video's hot chicks, what not.. people like crap music because of what it ad's whatever again i'm sure you get my point.

There was just as much crappy music in the 70's as there is today.

or any other decade, era, genre wawhtever-the-hell else....

boo boo

Dunno... I'd say the bad music rate has increased by a little bit... Due to the founding of nu metal and pop punk, respectively.... And rap hip having lost a lot of the creative potential it had in previous decades... Save a few great artists.... The Roots, Jurasic 5, MF Doom, etc.

The 70s did have it's share of crap though, like Journey.... But bands like Five For Fighting have taken Journeys processed mush and made it even mushier.

There are also just more bands in general now though. The ratio is about even. People seem to think that the 70's were all just Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, because those were the bands that were incredibly popular at the time. There are just as many good bands now as there was then; they just aren't mainstream anymore.
