"Popular" music(in its widest definition) peaked in 1968. It started to decline after that and was all but dead as a creative force by the mid 70,s.
The greatest guitar track ever recorded was from that year.
From 2.30 on is at good as it gets. Never heard anything better.

I totally agree with that!

1968 was the big year and as the Beatles and Cream left the scene I personally become a big fan of Led Zep, but after that, as you say mid 1970's, it, to me, was all crap!  It certainly didn't satisfy my music needs.....Bony M for instance, FFS, that said it all!!.

Even now, and yes I am still a rock chic, will usually be found playing, at full volume in the car, Led Zeppelin (I did today going around town) or the Beatles when I want more subdued but fully creative songs.

Some of the 1980's music was actually ok, but nothing on a par with what we had before then

Now are we just oldish folk who say, like my parents did, modern music is not like it was, you know, Glen Miller (who actually I love listening to!), or are we only reflectIng what is true as all I see is today's youngsters just treating the music as a commodity with no emotional attachment like we did in the 1960's?

              Ahh, Eric at his best👍 I’m a Black Sabbath fan so you can imagine how I feel about guitar solos. Today, Joe Satriani is one of the best for that imho and just like Jimi he can’t read music either!

I don't listen to music much or play guitar these days, but when I do listen it tends to be more mellow stuff now like Don Henley or Bob Seger.

Yes, Bob was with that ridiculously loud Ted Nugent at one point if I remember correctly, Christ he was loud too!!
