I thought the EXACT same thing back in my classic rock days but the really good new music you will NOT find on the radio. Nowadays radio stations play only what will make the most people listen or whoever pays the most to have their song on the radio. The new upstart bands that like to make good and interesting music just for the heck of it are the ones that you only hear of by word of mouth. Kind of sad if you ask me, but there is some really cool brand-new music out there if you look for it.

Anybody ever heard of The Shins? Here's a song that is hard to dislike.

Another "rock"-oriented but very chill band, Rogue Wave

And these guys are totally "out there"; definitely a bit weird if you've never heard them before but they're so unique and fun-packed that they grew on me very quickly. BTW try not to pay too much attention to the video, it'll definitely throw you off.

Rogue Wave is awesome. Most people I know haven't even heard of them..I'm like come on, you've gotta get away from those pop stations. LOL
"Lake Michigan" is the song that got me started on them.

A lot of the music I listen to when it's just me and no one else doesn't get radio play, not in my area. Kutlass? Thousand Foot Krutch? Michael Tait? Forget about it. These are Christian rock bands, with TFK being on the more edge of heavy and Michael Tait being all the way over. The Christian station we have around here is family oriented, meaning more Casting Crowns (good band), Mercy Me, etc. But if I'm working in a shop with a bunch of other guys we tend to agree on a classic rock station. Seems that everyone can get along to Skynard, Zeplin, etc.

I like Kutlass, but I really dig TFK. There's a lot of the contemporary Christian rock bands I like. I'm cool with a positive message, but honestly, I don't want to listen to someone cramming their beliefs down my throat when I'm listening to my music. So, for a while there I wasn't too into the Christian rock, but the newer stuff generally has a good balance. I don't know if you've listened to any of their stuff, but you'd probably like Skillet, too.

Am I the only one that listens to mostly Hip Hop?

I'm kinda picky about my hip hop/rap. I love some of it, but some of it is total crap. It seems to kinda go through phases. For a few years, there'll be a lot of rappers that are really good at what they do, and I can listen to them all day long...then it seems to drop off, and every rapper sounds like they must have just fell face first onto the sidewalk right before they got in the studio.
