Anyway, I think there's great music out right now and there will always be great music. But in general I think a lot of modern music is terrible, both in and outside of the mainstream, actually,
especially what is outside of the mainstrea, indie kids have seriously run out of stuff to praise and now they're intentionally searching for the most unlistenable music possible just to show how contrarian they are to everything mainstream regardless of quality.
Good music is good music, people who judge music by what kind of f*cking label a band is on are just pathetic.
Anyway, I'm partial to the 60s and 70s, a great majority of what I listen to is psychedelic, prog and classic rock. I enjoy a lot of pop music from these decades as well. Still, I keep up with all the decades and the 00s has had some great stuff, especially in the prog department. Still it's hard to ignore just how awful indie is becoming, and how so many of these bands take such great pride in their total lack of talent.

Radiohead, Flaming Lips and Porcupine Tree, those are the main ones that come to mind.
