NME 2010 up and coming list was laughable.
80s - Van Halen, AC/DC, Motorhead, Queen, The Cure, Guns n Roses (hides), The Smiths, Joy Division etc. that's why I go back to the 80s.

Most of the bands you just listed are actually from the 70s, most of them used synths, and very few of them were the type to make a record "where they just plug in and play". I'm having trouble seeing how they compare negatively to today's music using your standards. Don't get me wrong, I love almost every single one of those bands (except Queen and AC/DC) but there are equally as good bands around right now too.
