I think music has gotten more amazing now-a-days.

However people forget, there was crap back then, there's crap now.

Still you can't help but to blast to the past:

The Velvet Underground, The Clash, The Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Brian Eno, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye.

Those were the greats.
