I look towards the past and see amazing things I have missed over the years, and I look towards the future in great anticipation of what is to come.

I personally have only been exploring music seriously for the past year-and-a-bit, so I'm still "discovering" well-known artists from 50 years ago, and most of the music I listen to dates from the '60s and '70s. But I will never state that that music is better than today's. I haven't explored today's music scene much, but I like a lot of what I've heard other than the typical Top 40 pop.

After I registered here, I've discovered a lot of new bands and broadened my taste. I used to think that '60s and '70s music was the only good music out there, but now I mostly listen to stuff from the '80s onwards.

There's not less good music, there's more bad music.
At the top end you have record companies more interested in profits and selling mass marketed music, at the bottom end any idiot can cheaply record an album and put it out over the net.

The good stuff is hidden somewhere in the middle.

You're just jealous of my kvlt black metal project "Gas Guzzler" where I gargle the vocals with gasoline and play the guitar underwater with a pick made from fossil fuels found from the deepest pits of hell unearthed by the most sickly mutants you've ever seen. I've got two followers on soundcloud though, so I may have to cut the project as I'm getting too mainstream which goes against my ethics.

I'd illegally pirate that. Y'know, to prevent you from earning money on album sales and becoming commercial.
