(Discussion) need help discovering new music

I actually used to think just like you. After I discovered Zeppelin and Floyd and P-Funk, I thought that music couldn't get any better. But this is a fallacy, and I realized that I was missing out on great shit after I stopped listening to the radio - fuck you Clear Channel.

I forced myself to listen to post 2000 albums almost exclusively in the past six years, and this is all but a small sample of the great music that's out there:

This is only a tiny fraction of the good music out there. I already know I'm going to catch flak for forgetting others, and that's a GREAT thing. If I can rattle off all of these albums and people still feel compelled to call me out as a phaggot, that just goes to show that music never died.
