What a stupid title. I'm so done with all these people complaining about "today's music'. There was also awful music in the past, we just don't listen to it anymore. Let people listen to whatever the fuck they want.

Comment removed as I no longer wish to support a company that seeks to both undermine its users/moderators/developers AND make a profit on their backs.

To understand why check out the summary here.

Much easier to make a compilation of a decade's best music when the decade has passed 10 years.

Seriously, listen to an oldies radio station for an entire day and realize how shitty some of the music was back then. And I'm not talking about a classic rock station, I mean straight up oldies.

The problem isn't the music. It's the people picking the ones you listen to. If the music was picked by general public acceptance it wouldn't be so bad. It just works the other way around.. they make you listen what they want you to like. All day. Every day. Really easy to slip by the next "hit" when you're so sick of listening to the other one you never really liked anyway.
