It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Exactly this.
Find a New Rock station. Review the list of played songs. What is the average year that the song was released?
If it is a locally owned station, that year will be close to this year.
If it is owned by Clear Channel, it will be ~2008.
Its not that there isnt good music out there. Its that Clear Channel doesnt want to pay for it.
