To answer OP's question, I'd say bands like Staind, Saliva, and Puddle of Mudd. I heard a new Saliva song on the radio a little while back, and I couldn't believe they were still around.

It's all subjective, but there does seem to be a pretty strong general consensus that mainstream music by and large sucks. It comes down to the camp that actually listens and the camp that just consumes what they're told.

Takes all sorts I guess hehe | many moons ago, when i was an impressionable 13 year old, with an unquenchable thirst for new music, especially of the rock/metal variety, i discovered type o negative, and instantly fell in love. i was obsessed with that band for years. not too long ago, a friend of mine who used to like them as well bought a live dvd of theirs. we sat down with some beers and watched it one night. i couldnt believe i ever thought those guys were remotely cool. i used to listen to "i know youre f****** someone else" over and over and over on repeat. my tastes have changed drastically since those days. i definitely dont hate on anyone whos still a fan.

in '70 they absolutely blew chunks (I think they were higher than kites  )
In '71 they were damn good. I mean DAMN GOOD!!! 
In '73 they were OK but acted like they didn't want to be there.
In the studios Zep was outstanding - but once they hit the road - the road seemed to jump up and bite them on the ass...
