that's your opinion and it's fine but I'm able to find the gems regardless of how subpar the music was compared to the 70s and before.

I think that comes with the whole territory of being a music elitist. The point where you only listen to the creme de la creme. I'm able to look past perfection and go for something that may be deemed subpar. Overall I may listen to a load of what could be viewed as "crap" but I don't really care what others think of it. I listen to some of the best of the best but I can also step outside of that perfection and listen to some things that are pretty low on the totem pole.
Give me a break. I'm not an elitist, I don't demand perfection, I listen to plenty stuff that's not the "creme de la creme", it's just that R&B from the time period in question bores me to tears and always has. The gems in that particular mine are so few and far between it hardly seems worth it to heft the old pickaxe.
