Yeah, its a totally different time now too. Music was able to adjust with the times a little better before - because we knew the times we were in a little better. Now its all a mess and everyone is completely connected, aware of the slightest political, economical, socio-cultural changes etc. I think that is a big factor, because there are plenty of songs I listen to regularly that I enjoy and feel as much about as some of the best older tracks.
Maybe people dont buy as much music when the musicians are making a strong and bold statement, or maybe nobody is listening to lyrics anymore and looking into what the song is about. It would make more sense to me if it was a cultural shift opposed to a music related one. We are much more of a disposable society so while we are listening to anything we are always thinking about the next thing to listen to, rather than enjoying what is there. Maybe we should create a DSF band to fix this problem, cant sit around complaining without trying to do something about it!

I agree with a lot of what has been said but not completely. The corporate business model has changed to reflect the market. Thats why we see so many one hit wonders and bands that dont have the longevity of Zep and the Beatles. My primary musical interest is hip hop and despite what Nas has said, hip hop is not dead. Radio has become a vehicle for corporate produced music, unlike when the Beatles were around. The internet has created a culture of immediacy that prevents groups like Floyd etc. from making it big. But what it has left is a huge venue for independent artists. The music is still out there, you just have to look for it.
See: K'naan- Troubadour Cool Kids- Bake Sale, That's Stupid The Roots- Rising Down Dragon Fli Empire- Redefine NASA- Spirit of the Apollo (2009) Thats only off the top of my head. Keep the faith in music.
