I agree.

That only deals with listening to (consuming) music. That doesn't address whether or not music today better or worse than it use to be. So I agree it is a better time for people being into music. Not that it's a better time for music being produce.

That the sad part, there is so much potential yet so much crap.

EDIT: I didn't realize that what I said was basically said before. I don't want to seem redundant. I should skim better. :/
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - Horses In The Sky
I don't know if that is the album you had in mind. I looked it up on title track youtube and I saw a live performance of it. You gotta be kinding me. That trumps nothing.

Before Today
The song "Bright Lit Blue Skies" is a cover song from '66 how is that an example of today's music?
