Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty
I'm not sure what you're point is, but Fogerty was playing country and bluegrass 40 years ago. Check out The Blue Ridge Rangers LP. It's good. 
Why does most new music suck?
There will always be enough one-hit wonders to keep the airwaves interesting (if you can find the right stations).I did prefer the time when all I seemed to need was one or two "top 40" stations, but I was young and naive and settled for some thin... 
Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty
Chronicle and Chronicle Volume 2 pretty much do the trick--40 songs that cover it well. But die-hard fans will want the original albums, I guess. I'm good with the 40 selected tracks--those two CD's do not leave me wanting.The "live at Royal Alber...

Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels
Azahara. It's what I'm most familiar with. I have much more of Paco de Lucia. My favorite of his is Almoraima, though I do like the newer stuff very much. 
Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval?
I have pretty deep experience as a classical guitarist. I've played violin and viola at weddings for years. Since around the age of 12 I've played off and on in bands--electric guitar, bass, keyboards, mandolin, dobro and vocals. Failed miserably ...

Paco de Lucia is the man for contemporary flamenco. For a more traditional flamenco style you might check out Paco Pena.I personally would not mention a lot of these other good pseudo-flamenco guitarists in the same breath as them. Their dazzling ...
