John Peel - what that man and radio has done for so many bands. There's never anything wrong with getting things heard. Radio is just another form of media; and a more effective one in the music industry than music magazines. What better way to hear a new band - read someone else's opinion of them in a magazine or actually hear them for yourself. Toughie.
And rock music is not dying. LedzepStu and Satchmo made pretty good points. It's great that music is getting more popular and it's also great that now people will be more motivated to push musical boundaries and make great music.
