Modern Classics

I just connected with an old friend who complained that there isn't any new music worth listening to these days... or if there is, he can't find it. My biggest problem is keeping up with all of the cool music these days and I always have my ear to the ground for new sounds.

To make it a little easier for him, I was inspired to make this playlist of "Modern Classics," which I define as relatively new music that has proven it's staying power. Everything on this list is roughly 10 years old (1998-200) and nearly all of these artists are actively creating today.   read more »
