"Society and technology has changed, and the industry has to embrace the suck. "

You should add a "get off of my lawn you young whipper snappers" for effect! ;-)

The business of music has changed (no one churns out albums when you don't make money on them anymore). The talent hasn't stopped, and there are a lot of really good artists these days.

You mention "Daft Punk" as being good. They are good. Mumford and Son's ... they are OK ...

But really? Those are the ones that have chosen to throw us old guys a bone with well produced albums and a few files.

If you think you like Mumford and Sons ... try The Decemberists & The Civil Wars. I actually think they are better, and have a little more of the fire the defines good music. Most have some sort of access to their work (MP3, 24/44.1 or Vinyl), but like the days of our youth, the sound quality isn't job #1, but boy does it not matter when they get going.

But for other good bands: Fall Out Boy, Maroon 5, Grouplove, Meghan Trainor, The Ting Tings, Blur, Coldplay, Florence and the Machine, ... and I could go on.

A added a link of a bunch of new bands who did their first real work last year. Some is good, some won't make it (like they always do). But the fact you don't see new bands is that perhaps you haven't sought them out?
