This can mean so many things I know but lets say American music in general including all popular genres.  

I guess one could say the major reason is today's music industry equates a good song as being a good beat and a catchy hook.

Oh yeah....in before GH15.

I would also say that it's much easier to get into the music industry now vs back then where the talent pool was smaller but the quality was very high and now the talent pool is larger and the quality is low.

It's a matter of opinion. Face the truth bud, you're getting old. My generation is no different then your's or the one before that. We are just younger.

A Master Ballad for you Wiggs.  Listen to the power of Tyler`s voice.

I hated 80's music like Devo, Men at Work, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Ocean,  etc..,  it was all gay.  Then Hair bands came back and it was great again.  Grunge replaced the hair bands and that was OK too.  Now we are at that weak point again where there is no front runner really.  Lady Gaga and that whole line of talentless hacks are not considered greatness IMO.

I think he is in a category by himself "Waitsian Blues".  He has some really interesting lyrics and songs.
