Dave et al,

My interaction with today's youths (through my own children)  has shown me that, perhaps, they are nore savvy than previous generations. While I understand that my own children's eclectic tastes stem from me introducing them to a wide vaiety of tastes, I am constantly impressed with their friends wide pallette.  Maybe it's the water here in New Jersey.  I believe kids have a more balanced musical diet than I ever did growing up.  They search the Internet, whether it be Pitchfork.com or browsing CDBaby.com or CMJ.  As for today's bands:

Sufjan Stevens
Ratatat
The Notwist
Lali Puna
Nickel Creek
Chris Thile (a virtuoso)
The Flaming Lips (let's here it for the over-40-years-old  guys who write lyrics that aren't angry)
M.I.A

......just to name a few

DownloadITunes and listen to the channel called Aural Moonfor all kinds of Prog Rock selections. They play agreat selection of music. If you ever get to hear it, there is a band calledMaxwell’s Demon that has a release called ‘Prometheus’ and its got a great selection of ‘tronthroughout the album. Aural Moon plays some interesting German, Italian, andFrench selections (sometimes they are a bit outside my scope of interest).
This is my first post and the catalyst formy entry is the discussion of today’s bands being uninspiring and ‘untalented’.I agree that today’s music is dead inside, which is apparent in thelyrics anyway. Its all so angry.
Anyway, hello to all! My name is Dave andI’m a ‘Tron addict hoping to own my ownnumber someday.
Happy New Year
