there is a programme on BBC Radio 2 that plays all the music from the pop chart as it was exactly 40 years ago, or something.
Everybody remembers the storming records that came out of the 60s. But it is sobering to hear this programme - the majority of the chart's content back then was diabolical, just as it is now.
IMHO most music, like most movies and TV shows, at any given time is bad. The few with talent stand out and are remembered while most of it falls by the wayside.
I imagine that Mozart had plenty of untalented contemporaries who's names have long been lost.
Just like any other genre. I think pop's definitety better now than it was in the mid to late 90s, and the early 60s will be remembered as the dawning of rock.
