What is sad is your info is off track, the record industry by their own confession are not releasing new releases in the volume they use to. Music stores for many reasons are shutting down and overcrowding is not one of the reasons. The music industry problems boil down to four letters, RIAA.

Well what is even MORE sad is the fact the these “new groups” of this “current generation” you speak of have little or no creativity! They rely on the talents of other artists and song writers from yaers past just to keep them afloat! How dumb is that?

Think of how many “current” artists are doing hit songs sung years ago.(Example: Hootie and the blowfish singing “goodbye girl” that was a song sung by David Gates of Bread orginally) Why can’t they come up with their OWN original sound?

You can tell sounds of the 50’s 60’s 70’s and 80’s….but from there the 90’s and 2000 do not have a “unique” sound.

This SHOULD be a time when you see new artists comming up with original stuff…but most of what you hear on mainstream is recycled trash. And independant radio is not much better.

So mabye there is a reason why people turn to something that is tried and true.
