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
Robert Cray - Bad Influence album release 1983
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.
Whole album is a motherfucker.
Great bit of songwriting, fantastic guitar player, I'm glad it's in the world.
