I can't help thinking that the previous century had such a vast amount 
of music that is drastically superior to this century (which, 
admittedly, isn't over yet). Take a trip:

That's 18 tracks I found with a few trivial Google searches. I think it 
makes my point quite clearly. Though the sound quality (to say nothing 
of image quality!) varies wildly, the songs themselves are all 
premium-quality stuff.

Somehow, I doubt that in 30, 40 or 50 years time, anybody will give a 
**** about This Is Love, Payphone, Don't Wake Me Up, Whistle, or Call My 
Name. That's today's UK Chart Top 40. I just looked it up. I haven't 
heard of a single one of these [which is no surprise], but then neither 
have you [which is kind of my point].

Also: Hoo boy, this post is A LOT of copyright infringement! o_O 
Legally, I should probably be sued off the face of the planet...
