Now if you were serious about genuinely finding new music you could have said 'Thanks for the tip, I might check him out'
But instead you decided to dismiss it out of hand and ramble on about how he's not a household name wherever you are so therefore his acheivements are meaningless and you then went on to bitch about people on the internet.
So please tell me how I'm supposed to take your reply seriously.

I guess your not dude. But I'll give you one thing, I DID dismiss your example of a multi-platinum selling artist. Multi-platinum selling means nothing really. It doesn't really even matter if he spawned imitators. If he is truly innovative, in every sense of the word (which is what I'm talking about) then he should be highly regarded the world over, such as those I mentioned. I'm not stuck in the past. However, I don't really feel connected to the present. Which is why I came here in the first place. I don't feel there are any GREATS out there anymore. There are no John Lennons or Michael Jacksons or EVHs anymore from what I see. I think its because of several reasons. One of them is the fact there just isn't much more to go on these days. I believe humans have already explored most of the creative avenues music has to lead us down. That's why your seeing people come up with truly original ideas and approaches now (such as the ones I mentioned did). The new sounds and ideas simply aren't there. I admit that I may be wrong. My only problem in the first olace was you turning this into an argumeng when it never was.
