Yeah, to add to what Blaro says, not all modern music is terrible. You're probably going by the charts or radio play, but there are some fantastic artistes out there, and some amazing albums being released even this year. I think it's a mistake to so restrict yourself, but hey, if that's your bag. You will though, in all likelihood, be missing out on some great music...
Oh yeah, and welcome. Ya gotta have friends, can't exist in a vacuum (you DO realise you're going to be bombarded with vacuum cleaner jokes and references for a while, don't you?)
