Exactly.

For every Beatles and Zep, there were hundreds of brilliant artists who never got the break.

It’s just pathetic to hear people bemoan the lack of good music when it’s just that they are too lazy to FIND it.

As you noted, there is also more BAD music out there than ever, too, but there are the tools to find the good stuff.

Anyone bitching has only themselves to blame. I wouldn’t trade Spotify or Pandora for ANY ten radio stations of the 1950’s-1990’s.
I’ve found more good, new stuff (or at least new to me) in the last year than I ever did in my youth rabidly listening to everything I could.

I find it easier to discover bands from the 70s that I never knew much about.

For example, I recently discovered Van Der Graaf Generator on YouTube, and have been playing a lot of their stuff.

My theory is that 50 years from now, people will be into bands that weren’t very popular when they were alive, kind of like how Van Gogh only got famous after he died.

Thanks to Pandora I discovered “Of Monsters and Men”, Lorde, and even a girl in Texas that is absolutely awesome, though I doubt in this world she will ever “make it big”, even though I think her stuff is really, really good. I’d love to see her stuff on vinyl.

Back in the day, there is no way those of us outside her geographical location would have heard of her.

Seems to me that a modern band on par with Beatles or Zep would not be hard to find if they existed.
