Just think about the amount of music coming from Soul, Funk, Prog, Techno, Hard Rock, Disco, Punk, New Wave etc. t hat can be found between '69 - '83. A lot of that was innovative for their time. They were the formative years for hip-hop and Heavy Metal. There was as well some bad and mediocre stuff too. But in general they was a lot of good music recorded and people still talking about music made then. I can't see the point of what you said, unless you where talking about the Pop charts , still you can't dismiss those years on a few example of bad chart hits or bands from that era.
I was just speaking about the Pop Chart in comparison to what what everyone complains about now, following on the OP of this thread. I lived in a small town and actually l discovered a lot of good music at the local library or late night TV show as I hardly got in the FM Rock Stations in the cities far away or if I had the luck to get in WGPR (Soul Station) on the AM - even CKLW was getting too lame. I was a kid stuck in Nowhere with a cheap radio and a parent who listened to the AM radio.
