While it was one of the RARE occasions today that I had no Dream Theater or Tull on CD, i DID have the radio, and all of the blasphemy contained within that represents todays musical scene.
My trip to the airwaves began with one of the best monikers ever: Lady GaGa. Forget bands that inspire thoughts provoked like Dream Theater, Queensryche and Spinal Tap, instead we're stuck with this heavily recycled incredibly uninspired CRAP that's pretty much telling any listener out there that "you'll like this stuff because you've easily heard about 500 variations of the same damn thing, and since you're programmed to like this, you'll go and like it some more".
It's insulting, to be honest. We've had no killer all filler for the last 9 years without anything truly defining in the music industry. The last hope for any change at all came with the band Delian League, who's fantastic demo brought back shades of vocal ranges and guitar riffs the likes of which were last seen from Anthrax and Iron Maiden. Sadly, that band decided to conform to the masses, and since then goes around with some variation of "New October" or one of those cool and edgy names that lots of pre teen girls and boys gladly flock to.
I'll retire now to my collection of "real" music, thank you.

There's some exeptions to the rule.. Like Disturbed. Or if you count new releases by Dio/Sabbath, AC/DC, Maiden, Judas Priest, and Meh-tallica.
