A lot of 60s/70s music sounds as if the artists are showing off without any soul behind it. Only thing is that there's a lot of soul that went into the music - it just sounds boring.

For some reason I've found that flaws in the instrument playing/timing, such as a slightly uneven drumbeat or guitar note a split second late are less common in the bands I dislike than the bands I like. Is this saying that the less talented musicians are perhaps also less talented at songwriting, and the best written music is the stuff that I find boring?

I just don't get why everybody says that music between 1960-85 and 2009 - present was the best. I find quite the counter true - music between 1985 and 2009

By the way Elphenor, when you said "mediocre bands knob" were you referring to me? Someone who likes middle-of-the-road music?
