The difference lies in saturation, old music has more songs with better lyrics, instrumental, and vocals than current music. They also had better composition and actually had substance.

Im not saying they dont exist im saying in general music today is worse than it was in the time of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Or maybe not that it is worse but that there is less music of quality being made.

Back then the good music was at the top and the other **** was on the bottom.

Songs are like people, except they get immortality if they are good enough.
You having only met the immortals because the rest are dead, does not imply that the undying were the majority.

My dad was born in 1959 and started collecting records when he was 11. He has not stopped and if he sees something he remembers he or his dad or a friend or joey down the blocks older cousins boyfriend liked, he buys it, good bad or otherwise. I have so many vinyl records from between the 40s and 80s i have several bookshelves dedicated to them. There is a definite higher amount of lower quality music produced and consumed today.

notwalkingwaffles (12 hours ago) [-] Perhaps, since the market for music has been growing as the technology to play it has developed to become common household items, and to make it easier to use, combined with the market for clubs and parties, it seems plausible that there is just more music being produced, good and bad. Of course you're not going to get a legendary guitar solo nearly as often as it's an instrument that has fallen to become more of a rhythm instrument in popular music, where it was once a leading, melodic feature.
Of course there is also the chance that you are correct.

The difference is you no longer here the old, bad songs because they've been filtered out by the listeners. You'll never listen to them on your own time, and the classic rock radio station is only gonna play the hits, so of course it appears that old music is better...you don't hear the bad stuff.
In 20 years the good music of this generation will make it through the filter of whatever future society wishes to hear, and everyone will think our generation had no bad music.

Of course there is. This is like saying grass is green.

The reason everyone thinks that old music is so great is because people only remember the best songs, the ones that stood the test of time. There have always been ****** songs but people just forget about them after a while.

gibroner (11 hours ago) [-] Yo who tryin to get a deep lyrics thread going in here:
"He has no time loneliness is a stinger in his mind. A mind with two hearts, each with two parts, all of which ache for a wife. He bears it in his chest heaven's no place for a lonely man to rest. With no children abreast, no peace to taste, happiness has no face. A bow with Methodist plans that fail him by day, became the father of the man. Who lives with no light, hid by the night, poisoned by hope with vacant eyes." - "Heaven's No Place" Horse Feathers

mobiuslead (11 hours ago) [-] "Thoughts endless in flight Day turns into night Questions you ask your soul Which way do I go? How fast is too slow? The journey has its time within us If a man can fly over an ocean And no mountains can get in his way Will he fly on forever Searching for something to believe From above I can see from the heavens Down below sea the storm rages on And somewhere in the answer There is a hope to carry on. When I finally returned Things that I learned Carry me back to home." -"The Journey Home" performed by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn for tbe game "Ace Combat 5"
