About good music

This is something I've been hearing a lot throughout the years, stuff along the lines of "music isn't what it used to be", or "music just gets worse with every decade" etc etc. But is it really getting any worse, or do we just get a bit grumpy with age and like a good winge now and then?

The problem definitely is that music is just so disposable now. The people who will be talked about and still listened to years from now are few and far between. Im not far off 21 and since I was 16 my favourites bands/singers were The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Rory Gallagher etc. Thats the kind of music that never dies out
Dont even get me started on crap like X Factor and the Eurovision... None of those things are actually about singing =/
