Or you can shut your brain to the world and live a sad boring sheltered life.

Your arse is sad and boring. I and a LOT of people I know still love listening to all the great songs of the past. How can you, in all seriousness, compare the absolute junk today to The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Allman Bros, The Band, Grateful Dead, The Who, CCR, Cream, Doobie Bros, Eagles, Doors, Moody Blues, Tull, Lynyrd Skynrd, Journey, Foreigner, on and on and on.

Because there’s great stuff coming out now. Some of it even by them. You put Tull in your list, are you aware that Anderson did a follow up to Thick as a Brick in 2012 that’s really really good (including performing both albums in their entirely on the tour) and he’s in the studio again expecting a late spring release? You list The Band, who to me were always hit or miss, they’ve got some amazing songs but when not being amazing were generally pretty bad, Robbie Roberton’s 2011 entry How to Become Clairvoyant (like all of his solo stuff) doesn’t suffer from the lows, it’s just the good stuff. Meanwhile right now I’m listening to the latest from Planet P Project, Steeltown a great story album about a small Scandinavian town in WWII which I’ll hold up to anybody on that list (most of whom I have their entire catalog).

New great music is being made, you just gotta go find it.
