I really hate when people say "music today is crap!" No, it isn't. You're just lazy and/or uninspired and probably listening to Top 40 bullshit. Newsflash: what is most popular has almost always been shit with a few standouts throughout the years like the Beatles and Michael Jackson.
Do you know how many #1 singles Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, and Queen had between them? 3. Another Brick in the Wall (Part II), Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Another One Bites the Dust. These are 4 of the most influential rock bands of all time and 2 of them never even had #1 singles. They shaped music as we know it and they barely have enough #1 singles to make a 7-inch.
If you want to find good music, you have to spend a little time looking for it. Like a song on the radio? Find out the name of the band and then what genre they are and listen to some other bands in that genre.
