I mean to really appreciate good music especially from the influences you are looking at we have to search properly and I think the best way is through a local record store and the such because they do happen to know a lot about music, especially good local music.
Okay, maybe some people have trouble knowing where or how to look for information on music on the internet. There are hundreds (thousands?) of blogs, music magazines, and forums like this one on the internet catering to every style of music. That's thousands or millions of people giving you information. A good local record store may have a dozen employees? Maybe less.
I live in a big city and the best local record store more often than not does not have the release I'm looking for nor have they even heard of it. But my taste is pretty out there.
This is just my experience. Others may have better luck. The OP named some big names in music. A local store probably can help them out. I'm speaking in a broader sense.
