Contemporary music is just fine. I'm rather enjoying the current musical climate, but I'm still not totally convinced that The Rolling Stones between 1962 and 1982 don't represent the absolute pinnacle of what we know as modern rock music. Most people know their hits, which sound a lot like you'd expected rock music that old to sound, but a lot of their stuff that didn't receive a ton of (or any) airplay is extremely varied in structure, lyric, and melody.
Some people say "The Beatles," but The Stones can bring the rock a lot harder. Some say "Led Zeppelin," but The Stones write a better ballad. Some say "Dylan," but The Stones embrace a wider variety of influences. Some say "Nirvana," but The Stones know how to have more fun with their music.
The Stones do everything and they do everything exceedingly well. I won't be so brazen to declare that they're the best band ever, but I will say they're the most complete. It just so happens I also believe they're the best.
Not that you asked.

I blog less when I'm happy. A lot less. I think that's true of everyone,
really. You're too busy experiencing the moment and spend a lot less time
moaning ...
