I'll tell you the problem. It's the internet and computers, all that technology bullshit. It is so easy to create music and get it out there that the market is flooded with shit. Wading through all that shit to find something good is difficult especially with the volume of music available these days. People are dumb and the record label knows this, so they pimp out their crap "musicians" to the dumb people who will buy anything they are told to. These dumbfucks have had this shitty music thrown in their faces all their lives, they don't even know what good music is anymore. They care more about the artists image and keeping up with the latest trend then their music. It is a business, why would the record labels go out looking for good musicians when they can take terrible ones and make lots of money off them? And yes, Pearl Jam blows balls. I hold Vedder single-handedly responsible for the disturbing trend of this pseudo Jim Morrison like deep voice singing, that lacks the sound and soul of Morrison and therefore sounds like a shitty, pale imitation. i.e. post grunge and most modern rock bands.
