What happened the day the music died?
Do you agree that the age of good music is gone? I personally feel the age of good mainstream music died at the end of the 90's. People didn't feel the need to use electronics to boost their sounds all the time like artists do now. The only type of music I would describe as 'good' is underground stuff with artists that are less known. I suppose everyones Definition of good music changes from person to person but I think people can generally agree about what music is not good. Looking back over the decades, we had some legendary acts who are still going whether in pop, rock or others genres of music. In decades from now, do you think any modern artists or bands will be remembered and admired as being legendary? I'm pretty sure we won't be producing any rolling stones or Michael Jacksons anytime soon..

Not at all. I think the good music is getting into the charts less and less as bad "singers" take the top spots. But good music has never been commercially recognized. Of course it's down to opinion, but look at the 80s - Madonna and cheesy pop dominated the charts, but great, lesser known 80s rock bands that made some brilliant songs.
It's the same now, if you want to find good music look away from the charts. In 50 years people will remember Justin Bieber and Adele as 'that kid' and 'that good singer'. In 50 years people will remember bands like Radiohead, Nirvana and Kasabian etc. as the bands who made good, innovative music in a world of bad music.
