dude, your not looking hard enough, looking towards pop isn't the way anyway, you said you like tenacious d, think all thier awsome songs got no 1's? leave the chart stuff to the boring, shitty acts such as bieber, try pandorasbox.com(think thats it), start with tenacious d and then look for simlar bands from there, good luck 
Remember, theres a whole world out thier, full of hooks, harmonies, ripping solos, and enough creativity to make pink floyd impressed.

I actually found out about a cool new blues guy from watching Top Gear. Dude named Seasick Steve. He's awesome.
I must be on the lookout to see if he's performing in the US anytime soon... XD
Wow. He's looking for advice and you berate him like that? If you enjoy modern pop music and all that then more power to you, but let the man make up his own mind before you put him on the chopping block sir. Sure things change in music, but that doesn't mean that the listener must change what he or she likes to stay current and relevant. Example, i'm pushing 30 and I don't hate much if anything when it comes to music. Art is art and to each his own, but I will say this: the whole "auto-tune" trend where every male singer sounds like a sensitive cyborg makes me want to stab a baby panda. Does that make me wrong? Does that make me a "music snob?" To you and others like you, maybe... But my opinion is equally as valid as yours sir.Pacerman said:
I think everyone that says "disregard the top 40" is really missing out on some good stuff. The National's album High Violet was in the Top 10 a couple of weeks ago, LCD Soundsystem's This is Happening and Janelle Monae's the Archandroid* have also sold really well.
Even some of the stuff that people on this forum are actually thinking about when they say "Top 40" is actually really good. For example, You Belong to Me is a massively catchy, sweet and memorable, but has probably been dismissed by lots of people here because its "Top 40". While I Gotta Feelin' is probably one of the more inane songs ever released, I can think of few things that work better in a club setting, as a massive singalong or as a predrinks getting in the zone song. Single Ladies is just a great pop song.
I don't know when the idea that being catchy, fun or having good singers doesn't make a song good caught on but it really should stop.
*a massively acclaimed album in the traditional pop/RnB, something that hasn't really happened in a couple of decades. I would recommend giving her a listen if you think traditional pop is dead.

Holy Shit an Opeth song that I can actually listen to, has the world ended, or did they just change their style?Novskij said:You are searching in a totally wrong way.
And music isn't dead, look at this:
And i would go find more stuff, but you should do that yourself.
I'm not bashing them its just that the few times I tried to give this band a chance I was immediately turned off by the guttural growling that the vocalist used to convey the lyrics.
It's amusing that shadowstriker86 made this reply-provoking thread (which is incredibly naive) and hasn't said anything since.
Hey Airbourne are good check them out, they sound like AC/DC but a little bit modern and best of all their Aussies. But yeah I agree with you music has gone shit now, before the 00's even pop music was good, most things that came out were good but now its just recycled crap. Yeah its ironic that I say Airbourne sound like AC/DC but fuck you, they're probably the best Rock Revival band around and they put on a bloody amazing concert aswell. But still I hope they fix the other genres as well, it seems most genres have gone down the shitter aswell as rock.
Are After Forever, Delain, Edenbridge, Lunatica, or Stream of Passion on your personal radar? If not, they really should be, as I can practically guarantee you will love them if that's your current "big four" of symphonic metal.Aby_Z said:
On topic: Of course good music isn't dead, you just have to know where to look (hint: Not on the radio!). I have no sympathy for anyone too lazy to delve below the banal pop surface of the broad spectrum of music - expecting that to be amazing is like panning for gold in your shower in terms of unwarranted optimism (I love that analogy, heh).
Alternately you could always *cough* shameless plug *cough* let strangers on the internet like yours truly guide you to the good music [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.198217-Gildans-Guide-to-Good-Music-Devin-Townsend-Project-Addicted].
