How'd we get onto (popular) music? ...In general I agree, but there was some good music created. And there was crap made in the 50s/60s/70s. I’m sure there is some good music being made today that will be remembered 30 years from now and a lot of the crap will be forgotten.
Best period: 1976- 1987.
Before that: basic rock not so good. Swing era great stuff to play. Before that-- Ragtime, etc. who cares.
After cerca 1987: Mostly crap up until & including present. Plenty of rhythm, dancability, etc., boring chordal structure, melodies that go nowehere. Disco without the upbeat melodies. Rap, Hip Hop, even ballads since 1987 suck. Now, anyone want my take on classical (serious)? OK then I'll stop.
