There hasn't been any good songs since the 70's. All head-banger stuff....... ![Tongue :P](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/tongue.gif)
... yeap ... 1979 ... enter sandman ... everything is just ... comfortably numb
I can almost agree with you.
1979: Dire Straits, Joe Jackson, The Cars,...
1980s: Technopop and big hair
But it gave us bands like Simple Minds, U2, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Peter Gabriel solo work, Big Country, Eurythmics, ...
1990s: More ridiculous "gangsta" rap (my posse is bigger than yours!) plus a lot of talentless drones who can cut a CD for a fraction of the cost of a 1970s studio album
But it gave acts like The Payolas, Tracy Chapman, the rise of Celtic and Gaelic music (Clannad, The Rankin Family,...), ...
In short there has always been good music; you just have to dig for it sometimes.
