Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

I think, there is too much commerce in arts including music. It's off the balance. Business should support arts, not the other way around. When Miles got rich, he started playing mostly what? That's right. Creativity is very much down these days. And computers help.
Sometimes I can spend half a weekend in an effort to find interesting well-performed music on youtube, and I consider myself lucky if I find one track. But when I do find it, the quality of the recording is questinable at best, and if I want to find at least cd, let alone record, I can't.
