You are looking in the wrong places.
The historical mode of delivery has changed. Who cares if Nels Cline doesn't show up on some industry insider generated list? I bet you could go online and download 40 live shows of his with every band he's played with in the last 12 months. Some recordings will be better than other's but the board recordings are usually less compressed than a typical rock cd.
The demise of the recording industry IS NOT the demise of the artists.
