There are a couple of reasons...
But first, you can't really quantify whether or not there are any good bands around, I wouldn't pay any attention to that noise...
The industry is beginning to change, in that new sources of music are less and less from the radio and more and more from the internet. As a result, music is more singles-driven than album-driven.
As a result, internet sales is on the increase. Also, over the last three years it's almost been a direct relationship between CD sales decline and internet sales increase.
Illegal downloading of music is cheaper. There are no hard and fast numbers, and any estimates are purly guesses, and not even intelligent guesses, but merely conjecture, but most industry analysts figure the number to be substantial as CD sales took a hit before on line sale began any momentum.

With iTunes giving us the option of previewing the songs and only downloading those we like, it's easy! There are some artists that I'll buy the physical CD because of unique CD art, lyrics contained or I simply love anything the band/artist does. I prefer my own compilation CDs. There's nothing worse than buying a CD for 16.99 and only liking ONE song. I could have spent .99 on iTunes for that :)

I personally .... don't believe that it is because a lack of artists.
I think that the artist are under the gun and or stress to produce hits and that now there are so many artist that are available for the public to choose from. It's hard to find the right music ... weather it is "self" written by the artist or if the writers that they have .... has written a fairly decent piece of music to produce.
It's not an easy process... All it takes is that one outstanding song .... to either put you over the top or place you back at the bottom of the pile.

Downloading is the biggest one. People just don't want cd's anymore, it's kinda depressing.

Some people would say legal or illegal downloading. I say, it's a lack of artists who are worth giving our cash these days.
