I have a theory. The theory is that you offically become "old" when you start saying that all of today's music sucks and music was better "when I was growing up".
Yes, commercial radio sucks for the most part. That's why you have to dig deeper for the good music. There is always incredible and fresh music out there to listen to, you just have to know where to look.
I'm almost 30 years old, and I still buy new music. In just the last week or two I've bought "To the 5 Boroughs" by the Beastie Boys, "Now Here is Nowhere" by Secret Machines" and "Revival" by Reverend Horton Heat. I'll probably pick up the new Franz Ferdinand disc at some point too.
As for a band that really matters, I'd point to Radiohead. They may not be mainstream, but they are shaping music as we know it.
