Not really. There's barely anybody out there who write GREAT songs with emotional honesty. You've either got bands that are too commercial or bands that are too hipster to write big/great songs. It's basically a massive sea of mediocrity right now.

For great songs with emotional honesty, refer to Panda Bear and Avey Tare.

Exactly, always has been and always will be good bands. They're just not shoved down our throats anymore...

Sirius and/or Pandora is a great way to discover new music
