You're right. A few years ago I only listened to old stuff because I thought everything new was like the pop/rap/hip-hop they played on most radio stations. Then I discovered indie radio, and my whole perspective on music changed. You will find good new music; you just have to look in the right places.

But she was complaining that she didn't like modern music that was played on the radio - top 40 - so I told her to look a bit deeper into other genres

And Im sorry Ryan, IMO top 40 stuff mostly sucks

I'm going to have to agree, I don't know what makes the top 40 where you are Ryan, but over here I have to say it's mostly crap. I'll come up with my list later on, I am late for work.

i was getting ready to type up my No Love For Arcade Fire or Jenny Lewis diatribe when you saved my day. also deserve more attention: wilco, flaming lips, littlest man band, mike doughty, and steel train.

i don't have enough hours in the day to filter that down to ten songs. actually, i do. just not in this day.

If you're only listening to top 40 radio then you're only hearing a tiny percentage of the music out there.

ilu sharon

i can't come up with 10 nor can i put them in order ... so here's some songs i like

emmylou harris - michelangelo & a love that will never grow old <3 <3
patty griffin - truth #2 & no bad news
cyndi lauper - above the clouds
dolly parton - stairway to heaven
stevie - TISL
brandi carlile - late morning lullaby
eliza gilkyson - hiway 9
new pornos - unguided & sing me spanish techno
charlotte hatherley - be thankful
grace potter & the nocturnals - nothing but the water (parts 1 & 2)
melissa etheridge - breathe
tom petty - saving grace
feist - mushaboom

i think i'm biased towards female vocalists that's all i can think of now.
