There's plenty of decent bands out there mate and some great characters in those bands/ solo artists. Afterall, you don't become a legend over night. They've got to graft for their recognition. You are right though, there's some absolute ****e being put on the radio/ telly and it stops the decent stuff getting aired.

I didn't want to discount your thread rover, but I think one thread for disappearing music legends is probably enough.
