Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

Very narrow minded perspective...

That's a very small take on a very large musical world. Perhaps you should try music *after* your time. There are scores of great music cut in the 90's and 00's, though most will never find it as they won't look past the pathetic billboard charts or american idol garbage. Taking 5 min stroll through my iTunes playlist, and sticking only to the music relevant to this forum, I see:

Wilco
Muse
Imogen Heap/Frou Frou
Andrew Bird
Sigur Ros
Portishead
Fleet Foxes
Animal Collective
Emiliana Torrini
Beck
UNKLE
Sia
Zero 7
Radiohead
Norah Jones
Alison Krauss
Goldfrapp
Pearl Jam
Air
Tool
Cat Power
Carbon Leaf
Coldplay
Morcheeba
Royksopp
SiSe
Damien Rice
Eddie Vedder
Sufjan Stevens
Hooverphonic
Franz Ferdinand
Jem
Diana Krall

This is just a fraction going back to circa 2005, and I didn't include all the good ones, nor have I found them all, yet!...If I went back to the 90's the list of excellent artists wold be quite long. I don't know that I'd do without these artists in my collection. I have countless hundreds of albums from the 60's, even hundreds from the 50's-back, and many 70's (not a much 80's, as to me it was a bleak musical era) albums, too. Old music gets "tired" or "stale" to me. I can only play DSOTM or the White Album so many times before I don't want to hear it again, or, ok, maybe one or two listens a year. There is great and really bad music from every decade, all waiting to be found, if one just opens their minds...
