Find musicans you trust then find out what they are listening to and the circle starts to get larger, maybe they run a label, find out what new stuff they are releasing otherwise you are stuck in the vortex of shizzle we call todays top 100.

I also pointed out that there is a lot of good music today...it just seems like you have to dig for the good stuff anymore. Very few popular songs, if any, are good in my opinion. A big difference from yesteryear. Yes there were terrible popular songs from the old times...it ain't black and white...but just not as many as today.
As another poster pointed out, the music we hear today isn't as timeless as it used to be. In fact it's been going in the wrong direction for hundreds of years. Here we are...250 years (or whatever) later and we still play Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Rossini, etc...yet I don't think in 250 years anybody is going to be re-hashing any Lady Gaga or Justin Timberlake.

I've never been a Neil Young fan--good songwriter for sure but not that great of a musician and I really dislike his voice--so I consider him a "medium" level act in the Rock pantheon. Medium level was good enough to be a household name 40 years ago. Not anymore.
I think Ryan Adams' career is about the most a true Rock band or artist can hope for nowadays. Limited label support, build a fanbase organically enough through good music to get your albums consistently in the top 10. But no huge payday/respect/admiration from the population at large.

Neil Young is not medium grade. He is top shelf. He has just always done things his own way, is reclusive, and has given the middle finger to the music industry enough times where he isn't at where his peers are at.

I don't find today's music any less compared to any other generation. There are still plenty of great musicians. However, you do not hear as many solos and jamming time spent on songs -- live may be a bit different.
Was just listening to Down By The River by Neil Young which has one of the worst guitar solos of all time.
If Beethoven existed today his dubstep would be incredible.

His voice sometimes reminds me of some of the garbage disposals I replace in my remodel business. At other times I sing along like a pre pubecent CANhawk.

Some people still do, Pelican is one of my favorite bands. But then again I have exceptional taste in music.

I think I'm gonna look Pelican up... I'm usually on the hunt for new music! Thanks for that!
