Its not your imagination - modern music sucks and MTV killed it.

But a revolution will come.

There are tons of bands and solo artists out there that are quite talented musicians. You just won't hear them very often, if ever, on mainstream radio.

That's the point. Is something going to change the industry paradigm? It is it always going to be this grass roots tour based stuff?

I just discovered this musician today.......... I could enjoy her music with the sound turned-on or off. If she did some originals, she could have a future (only 21), but I'm afraid some a-hole like Simon Cowell would get a hold of her and ruin her.

Enjoy the view fellas!

I just noticed she got some attention and some props from AC/DC for her cover of Highway to Hell.

Radio isn't a music business. It's an advertising business.
