Are you talking about staying within the bounds of dance music though? There's amazing folk stuff going on - great music from all around the world - some very good/strong independent song writers - fantastic classical music Of course there's tons of nonsense but there always has been. Now with the way artists don't have to rely on record label $$ and the major label machine to get their music out you can find some really great music I'm constantly finding new great stuff via myspace - find one good artist and follow their links.
