Most songs written in any era are terrible, we just think decades past were better because we’ve conveniently forgotten the bad songs. But check out the top 100 list from any year and you’ll find a lot of patheticness, mostly near the top.
Good point. Plus there’s the nostalgia factor. A lot of mediocre music from our youth holds appeal because we remember fondly the times we heard it.
Sorry, but that is so UNTRUE!! MOTOWN...almost ALL OF IT was FABULOUS!! EVEN disco was pretty good....and the 50’s were FAB!!
