Was music really better "back in the days"?

Tell me all the trash music/artists you know from around the 50s to 70s.

No. Every era produces plenty of shit music, but as time goes on the better music is what is remembered. Also the songs that end up having lasting power decades from now are often not the "hit" songs of the day. Hell even the best artists of the era did bad songs, or songs the fans loved but the critics reviled. Google the reviews for "Kokomo", it's wild.

I can't believe Kokomo has that rating. It won't change how much I love it though!
