Every generation thinks their music was the best and present day music sucks. Of course, I'm right along with that, except I felt late 70's and 80's music was awesome! 90's music grew on me and I came to appreciate the alternative rock, but wasn't much on grunge. Never, ever been a fan of hip hop...
Very few present day bands keep my interest, but I do like some of the ones that were mentioned earlier: Evanescence, Kings of Leon, Skillet, etc... there are still some cool sounding alt rock bands out there, but your top 40 stations won't touch the majority of them.
Back where I live, the top 40 station plays Katy Perry about twice an hour (although I LOVE looking at her,) Justin Bieber, Kesha, and Lady Gaga about as much. They might play one rock song every four hours, but it's mostly music talking about "Th' club". Not everybody relates to and likes that music. I think that's what I have missed about music this decade....it's all about pickin' up women in a club and nothing else. No real substance in today's music!
OK, I'm getting off my soapbox now.
