Location: Houston, Texas, USA | Two Words describe the problem best: Clearchannel Communications!!!
A longer description:
This company has control of like 75 - 80% of the radio in all of the US and it has made for a lack of anything decent on the dial. Add to it, the lack of any music that is worth a damn. That problem with crummy music has been going on since about 1993 when no-talent bands like Nirvana and all that grunge movement took over and foisted that musical mediocrity upon the US!!!
With Clear channel getting their fingers in a lot of other pies, namely those of record labels, the whole, radio, to record process has become micro-managed and turned the entire creative process of good music into SHIT!
Gone are the days when a garage band, that might have some pretty good talent, and plays in a park, can get their demo played on the air and then possibly get a record deal that way. With this whole industry, you have to go in and lick boot to get a record because the record producers it seems are driving the development of music now.
