Music Sung with Passion
I just received the MOFI 45rpm "Freewheelin'". "Simple Twist of Fate" to me, was the stand out track. My point being, get this copy and you'll find that Dylan himself sung it with the most passion! 
JJ Cale dies...
I wish I could express, appropriately, what his passing signifies. I can only say that his music and influence will be timeless. So many others have taken credit for his works. I, will know every time I play one of his (lps), that he will continue...

The National
Jazdoc: I assume it's one's own likes/dislikes, I shared your opinion until I listened more. More often than not, I'm drawn to the darker side. 
Why does most new music suck?
Here's one to try, Rogue Wave, aka Release The Sunbird "Come Back To Us". (LP) Currently under $10.00 on Amazon. If you don't like this, (Assumming you haven't heard it) I will pray for you. Sonics are extraordinarily great! 
Why does most new music suck?
