Don't limit yourself to one "genre", of course you will burn out.
sparklehorse - its a wonderful life
flaming lips - soft bulletin, yoshimi
radiohead - hail to the thief, Kid a
air - moon safari
spiritualized -ladies and gentlemen we are floating through space
belle and sebastian - if your feeling sinister, arab strap
The list is long.
Getting old, or music not getting better, one of the two
a musician weighs in
I believe there's more good music than ever, it's just not on commercial radio. There are some really good public stations, some of which also broadcast on line. Jay Farrar has been in heavy rotation at our house.

What I think you have witnessed is not so much a lack of good new music as the miracle of Corporate Radio/media and deregulation. There is no chance in hell of hearing good music anymore on commercial radio. Thank God for the internet. If not for that, the condition of the music scene would be much worse.
So I think there is still good music being made (though less of it) but as some others have said, you have to look a lot harder to find it.
Good luck,

I'd say that all in all, this whole "country rock" thing has grown a little long in the tooth. I mean, a good band is a good band but it would really take something special where this sort of thing is concerned to get me to take notice. Check out Drag The River, if you're looking for some inspiration. Trust me, just do it.

I was always a huge Dwight fan. Always. Hillbilly Delux was the closest I could ever find to what struck me as 'good music.' Then came along the Black Crowes.Even better. Then came along Tupelo, and holy hell it was good. And then came along absolutely jack squat! Ryan Adams is good, don't get me wrong, but are the days of music from the heart, particularly with an occasional banjo, steel, lap-steel, or true driving rock over? Am I being cynical?
