Actually pop music is making a big come back since the pandemic. There are many talented singers today (also a lot of trash) but the ones that are good, they have amazing songs that will make me say things like “music of my time was real music, back when you had to have actual talent to sing” in about 30-50 years (if I’m alive then hopefully) I can already guarantee you 😂 We all want to believe that the music we grew up with will never be surpassed, that we’ve already heard the best there could be. Nostalgia has something to do with it as well. All of that aside, the songs in this compilation are obviously all bangers and those people had some gifted musical abilities. Every era has great songs, some more than others. I guess what I’m trying to say is we can’t really compare since it’s all subjective in the end.

@@anthonylove5275 Yeah but the equipment and tech is used more often to try to cover lack of talent than it is as an additional toy/possibility for talent to experiment with. It's a mix of things but profit over art and the difficulty level of struggling it out as a starving artist long enough to break out when all the revenue streams are crap for the actual artists these days are the most pressing factors, imo. If you can't be a starving artist, you can't become a rich one unless you are from money and trust fund kids make trash art.

80s was the best decade for art, music, fashion, fads and vehicles. Been around since 1958 so Ive seen a good bit and listened to even more. Was very fortunate to see both Stevie Ray Vaughn and Harry Chapin(not together) in 1979 just a couple years before they both left us way too soon!
