The 70's are actually my favorite decade of music and I love Karen Carpenter. I think you made a good point with pointing out how popular music has went in different directions. The popular music from the 70's does not sound like the popular music in the 80's and so forth and so forth. That is why when people say "I don't like popular music" I don't think its fair to generalize the medium when they are really referring to a specific era or era's of popular music.
For instance, I love Pop music I just do not like the popular music of this current era.
