Having worked for years closely with music artists to produce their CD artwork and replication of their music I agree that there are MANY people as good and usually better than ANYONE being played on the airwaves today. It becomes a game of luck and any accidental contacts you make. Nothing else matters. It's not the talent or the number of years or the type of places where you play or send your sample music.
Everything that is produced for commercial consumption by hit labels is formulated. Even if the artist want to push boundries the suits don't let them because they make money with a certain sound only.
That said, know that most of us by age 45 have quit buying music. I have no problem with many of today's artists but actually never listen to the radio anymore. Doesn't mean I don't hear stuff I like from time to time on TV or web radio from some of them but there's no way any they can replace Hendrix, Marley, Creedance, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Ernest Tubbs, Hank Williams, Elvis, The Beatles and so on.
The boundries people like that hurdled have set the bar impossibly high for newbies to surpass.
