I had the same problem, but I realised I was always looking for the next big thing. Unfortunately, whether due to the state of the modern music industry, the recession or whatever, there's not much around of that at the moment. So I came to realise that I was artificially limiting myself to the present.
So recently I have done much listening to stuff like (for example) Graceland by Paul Simon, The James Gang, the first Violent Femmes album, Camille Yarbrough, Tom Waits, old soul, folk, hip hop, all kinds of stuff. There is so much stuff out there that I'd never properly opened my ears to, and it tends to be better quality and more timeless than a lot of the stuff that passes for the 'latest thing'.
IMHO.
