Well the Blues is golden oldies for sure, but I don't think it all sucks.

New rock generally sucks because it's got no soul. Pretty much the same as blues but without interesting or genuine sentiment.

Buddy Guy - Stay All Night 2001

Whole album is a motherfucker.

Robert Cray - Bad Influence album release 1983

Great bit of songwriting, fantastic guitar player, I'm glad it's in the world.

He did a cover album in the last decade, all great songs that merited a new look. I've listened to this too many times to count.

Hell, how about some nasty Marvin Sease.

I'd say the blues has seen better days but I think like folk, old time, doo wap and country (old school) there is still cause to make and listen to the music.
