I'm with you there. At work, the radio is tuned to a local radio station,
mostly playing chart music. I rarely hear anything that's any good, and
often have to endure the same tripe three or four times in one day. Though
there's clearly some decent bands out there, they often don't get airtime
except on more specialist stations.
Granted, I'm no longer in the target age-range <grin> but even taking that
into account, there's too much crap about. Rock and alternative music is
in a better state, though I don't listen to as much new music as I used to
ten or fifteen years back.
