One of my all-time favorites, to go along with Beach Baby, Desperado, Your Love (the Outfield), Hooked on a Feeling, Dust in the Wind,.......... There has been some great music. Seems to me there are cycles of great music then crap, lather, rinse, repeat. It think now is a crap period, but maybe I am just getting old.

I think the difference is those who are older came of age in times when radio was king and played a wide range of music, it wasn’t balkanized as it is now.
Example - 1967 rock radio playlist:

There still good music being made, but nowadays you have to know what you’re looking for and where to find it.
