Ok... You're a nice chap, I'll not be nasty.
But you're wrong. You're looking in the wrong places. Look elsewhere. You want recommendations, there's a load of people here who can tell you what's exciting at the moment. To be honest, I can sympathise with your position. But I stopped listening to purely guitar-based music a long time ago.
Check out some Soukous. Try the local jazz scene (they're often all-ages). Do a bit of research on the internet. Listen to some Gamelan. Try to think of music as something that is made with things, rather than as something made by men with guitars.
