New music is great. If you don’t know that, you don’t know how to find it. Here’s a clue: you will not find great new music on commercial radio stations. You probably won’t even find it on satellite stations either.

You are 100% correct. There are some amazing artists out there, but they are not on the radio, and the music industry is as out of ideas as the movie industry.

I can say with almost 100% certainty that from a purely commercial standpoint, the period from 1975 to 1995 was the heyday of popular music.

The reason I know this is that on an average of 10-12 times a month I will be in a business establishment that plays background music for its patrons, and at least 95% music I hear is from that period. It seems like that is the prime demographic age for commercial radio listenership, music sales, and concert ticket sales.

And there is the problem. Why isn’t good music mainstream? What happened to capitalism in this regard?

Little Steven’s Underground Garage on SiriusXM has introduced me to lots of great new music. He highlights “The Coolest Song in the World” every week and while some are more appealing to me than others , but they’re always cool.

So, I suppose we have to find street bums with a banjo downtown somewhere?
