I see what you're sayingz

I think it's hard to compare the music around today with the stuff recorded in the 60s/70s.

I'm generally a fan of all genres, but the complexity and thoughfullness you hear in classic rock songs for example is nothing like you hear these days - EXCEPT, these songs charting at the moment are doing so (and selling crazily quickly) because the production has got better (in my opinion!)

There's nothing really wrong with any generation of music in my opinion, as they've all had good and bad material. Really, I'd say that now is a theoretically better time. No matter how you feel about the quality between generation, there's far more genres and albums to consume now than what there were before. There's a lot more potential for music now than there ever was, and potential will just increase as generations move on. It's just the bands that use this potential that you should look out for. There are some great albums from the 2000's that trump some of the best of the 70's or 80's or whatever generation you want to pick (Before Today, anyone? Or Horses in the Sky? You really just have to look.)

EDIT: I didn't realize that what I said was basically said before. I don't want to seem redundant. I should skim better. :/

Every generation has its own music i suppose, good and bad.

I sometimes wish i was around back in the Roaring 20s or in the 50s when rock started out.

Interesting points, though.

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.

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?
