There will never be music ever again like the music that came out in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
Modern music is not even music. It's all about marketing and gossip. Where's the talent? Where's the artists writing their own songs without 'co-written'?
Anyway, I agree oldies music is better than modern music.

Excellent question! Some of my favorite crossover artists from the Country sector were the old-timers. You know about Charlie Daniels ("In America" blew away "Toby Keith - The Angry American," and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" later became the basis for an O'Connor/Daniels/Stuart/Tritt sequel), Eddie Rabbitt, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, but one real pioneer of rap was no ghetto boy, rather, a white ad man from the Midwest: C. W. McCall (who got his first Country hit with a song written for a bread commercial, and later hit the Hot 100 with the transcontinental-truckdrive rap "Convoy").
Modern-day Country-Pop crossover queen Shania Twain and her producer husband took a lot of inspiration from the Country songwriters of the past for their ballad work on Mercury/Universal, saluting, in their unique way, the greats of the past, and, in so doing, approaching but not yet excelling the best of the 1980's and before.
In conclusion, the Country sounds of the 1990's and before still have the edge.

I love the 80s era and music. I think that sort of mixture of techno, soft rock, heavy metal all resulted in brilliant, catchy songs that endure to this day. Bands like Duran Duran, Guns n Roses, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Spandeau Ballet - all timeless classic songs from such artists as these.

Yes, I do. Songs nowadays leave nothing to the imagination and some are just down right vulgar but with good beats...Older music had more class, but I say up to the 80's for the most part.

Go back a few more decades. I doubt there are many people who'd disagree that nobody could 'growl out' "Hello Darlin" like Conway Twitty, or say "Hello Walls" as achingly as Faron Young or make you FEEL that "Ring of Fire" like Johnny Cash could.
