Music now sucks hard compared to 60's and 70's and I wasn't born until 1980.

For the most part popular music today can't touch music from the 60's and 70's. How can you begin to compare Jessica Simpson to Led Zeppelin? P Diddy to the Beatles? But I do like some current bands that are creative and different, like the White Stripes and the Greenhornes. I'm just sorry there aren't more bands like them now.

It's hard to say. I think if you compare popular music from the 60's and 70's to popular music from today, music from the older era is SO MUCH better. However, I think some of the greatest bands ever are making music RIGHT NOW, they're just not popular, so I'm a little torn. It's hard to beat bands like Sigur Ros, GY!BE, and Explosions in the Sky.

The basis for much of today's music is the amazing efforts of the R&B greats from the sixties, like Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Ray Charles.
A truly great artist will spend as much time with these giants as possible, and their music will reflect it. The initial success of The Beatles & The Stones was based on their repackaging of great R&B music.
Unfortunatley, today's crew has lost sight of this fact for the most part. You can't clone a clone. A smart artist will go back to rock's roots and bring it forward into today's bleak environment, and enjoy incredible success.
Why isn't it being done? I think the people advising today's artists are dumbasses.

Bad music from 60 and 70's didn't survive. So if you compare good music from 60's and 70's to bad music of today's then it is really not a fare comparison. I can tell you there were soooo many groups imitating Beatles it makes me sick. (Although I wasn't even born yet back then...)

I think singing quality has gone down greatly. Many singers just sound not that great; bands like Franz Ferdinand (I like them, I'm just saying), Audioslave, etc. A lot of the pop/rock radio music have bad singers too, I just can't think of specific band names. I mean a lot of the 80's artists didn't sound that great either but I think many of them are a lot better than the artists of today.
As a whole, I like the music of the 80's better but that isn't what you asked. The 70's are a little too far back for me, I usually stick with the 80's with a few hits from today.

Music in the 60's and 70's was awesome like The Beatles and The Who and songs were about life and politics. These days they are mostly about sex and sucking cocks.

I think that music, since the 90s changed completely in essence.. I think that the whole electronica movement really took things someplace else.. so in my opininion there is no really a way to compare the whole rock'n'roll, soul, blues, reggae thing etc. with what is happening nowadays.. it is also funny that actually electronica seems to have died, in a sense, leaving behind it the legacy of studio techniques for pop musicians to use..

Good and bad, like most eras. I hate rap and don't like much hip hop. ButI still like a lot of the pop music being put out there. My faves are Christina Aguilara, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, Justin, Scissor Sisters, etc.
