I have been pretty bad at discovering good new music and was wondering if people could suggest some great stuff. I like indie, rap, really anything but country. Help me increase my mind and I guess also my itunes library.

There are a ton of great bands out now you just have to look for them. If there's one thing I can't stand it's old dinosaurs saying "music in the 60's and 70's were the best all of today's music sucks!".

yes, i can't stand them going on some of my favorite music videos going "listen to (insert 70's band here) cuz today's music sucks!"

it seems as if they completely forgot about the underground scene.
