Don't make uneducated claims like "Good bands were more common back then, and crap is in abundance today" especially if you are only going off what you hear on the radio (which it appears you are). There is ssssooooo much great music today, all you have to do is look for it a little harder and you'll find it.
Uneducated? Its completely correct. Popular music was good in the sixties, and you had great underground bands like the velvet underground. You just admitted that there is "a greater quantity of crap" today. Good music wasn't hard to come by in the sixties, all you had to do was turn on the radio to find some. These days, it's much harder to come by. Turn on the radio, all you hear is crap. Sure there are some good bands today, but there are more crappy ones.

And no, im not just judging based on radio music. Im sure there is plenty of good music today, its just harder to come by than the crap, which is bountiful.
