You have a point for most hip-hop/rap of the 2000's+. I'd say most great songs of today require you to dive into "the indie scene", which wasn't like that in past generations.


I suppose you guys are right.  The mainstream scene is just terrible now and perhaps I have to dive deeper to find someone new that I would enjoy.  I live in Austin, TX so if I do listen to radio stations I usually listen to 93.7 (classic rock) and 101.5 (classic/alternative music).  Most of the new rock songs they play on 101.5 makes me want to immediately change it to 93.7.  This from a rock station this is independently run and supposed to play rock even the indie scene.  Austin is a pretty big center for music right now so I just assumed the rock 101X plays was the best the mainstream/indie scene had to offer.  I'd have to say rock has taken just a big of a hit in quality as rap has.

I feel ya. A lot of crap on the radio that sucks But here are some new bands you can check out or even may have heard of .  If you want me to update, I can. I went throught the same stage as you. I had to look for new sh-t and I found some good bands. I can't stand most rap and most new commercial music is crap.

Theres a new Alice Cooper song out that reminds me of the good oldies. The track name is Hello Hooray!

Foster the people - Helena beat

The kooks - Ooh La.

Florence and the machine- howl

MGMT - Time to Pretend

Pheonix - 1901

Empire of the sun - Walking on a dreams

Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch ( this has been on the radio but good).

The XX - Islands

Pin Back - Good to sea

THese bands have other songs that are good but I just put up ones that I pulled up on my phone .  Hope I  can help. I run a produciton company and listen to a lot of house. So if you want some of that I can put it up.
