[QUOTE="SQLservant, post: 61371079, member: 298532"] Let's look at some of the Billboard #1 singles from the past. 1965 - "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs 1969 - "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies 1971 - "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night 1980 - "Call Me" by Blondie 1983 - "Every Breath You Take" by the Police 1996 - "Macarena" by Los del Rio Will you tell me that those songs were better than what comes out today? Look at the lyrics of those before you respond. Sure, there were classics in those days as well, but these were the most popular songs [I]of the whole year they were released.[/I] It's a fallacy to assume that music was generally better in "the good old days," because back then, just like now, fluff still sold, and teenagers will listen to just about anything if enough people say it's cool. I will now negate everything I have just said by saying that I feel that good music died when Nirvana released "Nevermind." ;) [/QUOTE]
