Even Bob Dylan couldn't be Bob Dylan today. No record exec would give him the time of day.
It's not the artists, it's the industry. And it's the attitude that artists only release one album every 3 years or so. What's up with that? The Beatles released more music from 1964 to 1966 than some of today's artists will release in 20 years. It's tough to become a legend with only 3 albums. That makes you Boston.

I disagree with this. Bob Dylan would be Bob Dylan in any era. Also, there are musicians out there that put out a large volume of albums. Ryan Adams, formerly of Whiskeytown, is an example. Here is a link to more about him -

There is plenty of good music out there, and it's very easy to find on the internet. The mainstream pop music industry is only one part of music distribution.
