I really don't think it is lack of talent. I think it is about the record companies not giving their artists enough freedom of expression. They think they know what will sell, that's what they want the artists to make. If one band hits it big with one kind of sound, the next week, there are four more bands with that sound. Alot of them have phenomenal talent... they just haven't been able to express it.
If you are looking for real talent, AND a unique sound, don't look on the radio. You will usually only find recycled sound there.
It isn't only R&R, all of the music industry is like this... O/f hit the nail on the head! It takes alot of mining... to me, the diamond is worth it!

Not out of touch! I also love that! I'm not even thirty, though it is quickly approaching! LOL

I fell in love with The Tea Party long ago, and every new album just keeps getting better, in my opinion. Other than them, the old Led Zeppelin records still hold first place closely followed by Pink Floyd (their old stuff, anyway)!

I'll stick with my Radiohead for now.
Too many crappy bands (Nickleback, Default, etc,) all sounding like poor copies of Pearl Jam.
Although, with a few exceptions, there's a thriving, and really ralented Canadian rock scene going on, especially around T.O.
