The fact is there has always been crap and there's always been good shit. There aren't really any certain periods that were 'good for music' or not, your perception has just changed.

Yeah I'm really ancient, you're right. Hell I even like the music from the 30's and 40's, just yesterday I was watching a movie with Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers and I was headbanging like crazy, goddamn.
And yeah, you're right, there are definitely bands of a Led Zeppelin caliber playing on a mainstream radio these days and selling 7 millions of records - not?
There are plenty of great bands that started just recently on the radio and that don't have their roots in the 60's / 70's or 80's - not?
In fact I bet there's another Jimi Hendrix playin in some dirty old club right now, but it's his bigger cousin Kanye who's ballin, cause shit is in vogue these days.
Don't forget the whole pop music became much more of a industry and rapidly changed with the start of the 80's with video coming up, and as the time went by, this actually enabled a chance to present those, who suck - you don't really need to be able to play or sing anymore and your concerts can be a joke.
It's hard to argue with this because the evidence is on 24 / 7 - again we're talking about pop music and i don't expect Tom Waits on MTV.
Elton John is a crazy fag with the biggest classic cars collection and the sickest fashion style in the history, but bring him back, hell I would take Tina Turner, Meat Loaf, the sickest 80's pin up armed Prince or Queen headlined by the 12 clicks's famous alter ego anytime over the multiethnic meltdown that's going on now.
