They still sell albums?
In all seriousness, I haven’t heard new music I liked enough to spend money on in a while.
Yep.
If you want to sell music, first it helps to have music, and no, Beyonce does not count as music.
Good music is out there. It just will never be played on modern radio or make the popular culture in the foreseeable future, in my opinion.

I refuse to purchase digital music. I still pick up an occasional CD, but they're almost always re-releases of material from the vinyl era. I think the last time I actually bought a new CD of new music was either a Mark Schultz or Todd Agnew album, and that was at least five years ago. There just aren't many artists today that manage to capture my attention.

I’m trying to compile a list of good, conservative artists.
Yeap. If you live close to Knoxville or possibly Chattanooga McKay's Used Books sells 33 LPs used and is getting a decent inventory built up of them. That's where I buy a majority of my CD's now. I have about 20 milk crates of old LP's out in the shed I've about replaced with CD's.
In all seriousness, I haven’t heard new music I liked enough to spend money on in a while.
I'm mainly buying what music I grew up on from 1960 when I was 3 to about mid 1980's or so. Mainly old rock, old country, folk, and bluegrass. IMO radio even satellite subscription has one huge drawback. You have to hear four or five songs to the one you actually like and want to hear. I have Direct TV and of the five channels I like music wise it's continuous channel hopping. Then you miss a portion of the song.
I have put all the music I buy and like into my portable hard drive and back it up that way. If say my home got broken into I still have my music. Through conversion processes I should be able to listen to it my lifetime.
The main problem trying to convert over to CD is a lot of music I liked because of licensing issues isn't re-released. Artist like the early releases of the Bellamy Brothers. Lobo is hard to find. You can find CD's most have the same songs but not his earlier. You can still find all of Johnny Horton though :>}
