Nah, quantity isn't exactly quality, there are many good bands around, for sure.... And i like a lot of 00s music, but for me, not many modern bands are on par with some of the best bands of the 60s or 70s, regardless of genre... For me, there are just way too many talentless bands out now, not just mainstream bands on MTV and the radio but obscure indie bands too, many modern bands are basically setting a pretty bad example for aspiring musicians, "hey kids, you don't have to know how to play your instruments, how to sing, how to write good lyrics or even know a damn thing about song structure, not anymore, just make a catchy enough chorus and everyone will be downloading it for their ringtone and viola... you're a successful rock band"... Sure we always had bad music, but the crappy bands of the 60s and 70s weren't getting rave reviews from every critic in the world, now critics have lowered their standards so much that they will call any flavor of the month pop group or mediocre Rolling Stones cover band the savior of music, it pisse's me off... I can see bands like Radiohead, The White Stripes and The Mars Volta becoming the Pink Floyds, Led Zeppelins and Black Sabbaths of the future but other than that, music met it's prime in the mid-late 60s, in my opinion.... We're never going to have another Beatles or Rolling Stones ever again, another Blue Oyster Cult maybe, if we're lucky.
