Bob Dylan says modern music is worthless

Well, I agree that is a huge part of the problem. People just aren't exposed to "good" music even if it exists because of the culture that surrounds the industry. It is all about the marketing, not necessarily the talent.

1. sat radio
2. music blogs- music (for robots); fluxblog, aquariumdrunkard, rockinsider
3. other music websites: pitchforkmedia, another chicago board I lurk: gloriousnoise

I try to troll the blogs every week or two downloading lots of mp3s (lately I've been too lazy)

you'll find a lot of ****e, but will find some gems in there.

Most of my tastes lie in the alternative rock, alternative metal, nu-metal type music... just to give you an idea of what I like.

hmm. nu-metla is not my cup of tea.

I actually think with the lowering of production prices and the internet, modern music has never been more vibrant.

Since the start of the year. decent and better music I've purchased (newer music only)-
Gnarls Barkley, st. elsewhere
sufjan stevens, illinois
belle and sebastian, life pursuit
loose fur, born again in america
golden smog, another fine day
arctic monkeys, whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not
ben harper, both sides of the gun
deer hoof- the runners four
cat power- the greatest
flaming lips, at war with the mystics
the magic numbers, selftitled

and quite a few more that I've forgotten or are from over a year ago.

If you have a really good High End System($$$), Vinyl is better than CD. I think there is no doubt about it; it's not about taste. But how the sound is recorded and played. But how much you will spend on these High system...

I agree with someone else on this thread, he said, the quality of the mastering is the most important elements of the sound.

I will say; specially in classical music! How many times we have bought a CD and we fund the sound as being bad/unexpressive. At my home I have 4 version of the 4 Seasons of Vivaldi, 2 version of the ninth symphony of Beethoven and some others one(I have many Rachmaninoff too). Younger, I used to buy cheap CD, and more I began listening to classical, more I began to be... "Selective".

I have a turntable at my appt and some of my vinyls, are already own by me, but in their CD version.

When I’m listening to these records on my sound system, I prefer the sound of vinyl over CD. It's hard to say why, it's a feeling; the sound seems richer, more expressive.

Many people thinks that DVD-A will be the revolution, that audiophile was waiting with CD.

The delicious irony here is that Dylan is the lead for the iPod's new advertising campaign. CDs never sounded so good!

@DanS
Is that true? So funny

And he's the host of an XM satellite radio program. Don't check the bitrate on that, Bob!
