      Yeah people don't appreciate great music from the artist from the 60s to the early 90s. Even when great artist continued to put out great music people preferred the crap that wasn't near as good. Not that there aren't great artist now, but I know there have been plenty of artist who should not have been outselling some of these older artist later stuff.

    I have to agree... I can't even pretend to get into 90% of today's music. Music is powerful. It used to be something we could pull positivity, a sense of unity, and true strength from. It was more complex and provoked a wider range of thoughts. Now that seems to be mostly replaced with music that lacks soul, void of substance, and an empty and often corrupt value system. Look at the behavior and lack of respect many kids seem to have today. In my opinion it's having a very noticeable d
