I don't see what the problem is really. No matter the year or decade, there has always been great rock being done somewhere, even if they are outnumbered by a great many talentless bands. Also, while this is just my opinion, I don't think you can't say "modern rock" is getting worse when you lack the incentive to look around places like AllMusicGuide, MySpace, lastfm, progarchives.com, etc. There's more to the current music world than what you hear on the radio, your hipster friend tell you to listen to, or what you read in sub-par magazines like Rolling Stone or NME.
Secondly, most commerical rock backed by big-money labels has sucked since the 60's (though not to the rediculous degree we see now), and even those who supposedly miss the "good old days" haven't the faintest clue about all the truly great music they were missing out on anyway.
The Unfan: Nice choices dude!
