I remember hearing stories from my dad about owning a few dozen 8 tracks and have more than enough music to listen to. Meanwhile, I'm scanning over 600 songs on my Mp3 player and still can't find anything to listen to. Is music still powerful today as it was back then?

No, music will never be disposable. In general, songs may have a shorter shelf-life because there are so many offerings, and hundreds of different ways to get it. The bands need to get over-exposed to get the most bang for their brief moment in the spotlight.
In your dad's day, media was different - 3 TV channels, 3 radio stations, and no Internet. No Walkmans, no iPods, no massive marketing. Songs stayed popular for months, now the average CD has a shelf-life of 4 months. After that, sales drop-off dramatically. Hang in there... there is some great music being produced today, and watch out for the indie bands you haven't heard of yet... They're awesome!

Some "muscians" just want the fame and don't play music because they simply love it. I'm getting that feel a lot with some of the stuff coming out today, but then I see bands like Angels & Airwaves, Keane, and some others and I think, "Well it seems like there's at least SOME people who make music fore the love of it." I think that every generation has some music like that but it's just more obvious now.

In customary music, usa music, also said as usa and western music or usa-western, is an amalgam of customary musical varieties enhanced in the Southern u . s . a ., with roots in classic human beings music, Celtic music, blues, gospel music, and previous-time music that began to augment instantly in the 1920s.

No. Nowadays there are more people making music just to get famous and get paid. If you look forty years ago music was about protest and making music for the love of it. Seems as though musicians of today have lost that ideal.

I don't think that music is becoming disposable, but that we are becoming impatient far too often as technology advances.
