Well, now you're getting into more vague territory. The greatest piece 
of music can sound awful if performed badly, and even bad music can 
sound surprisingly good if played really well. So it's less clear-cut now.

But essentially, I have no idea what was actually written in those 
centuries, so I'm not qualified to comment further.

fair enough.  You are not aware of so much stuff in your own time, knowing stuff
from just a few centuries ago is too much.  I can say, though, that Bach is from
that time frame.

Interesting. I thought that Bach was far, far older than just a few 
centuries...

yeah, blame the povray web access to newsgroups.

In any case, here's the char:

Every YouTube video for a song over 20 years old has at least one 
comment along the lines of, "We had such awesome music back then, now 
all we've got is Justin Bieber."

Every era has had its share of excellent acts that were remembered in 
later generations, and also its share (much larger) of briefly popular 
but ultimately forgettable stuff.

Past times have better reputations because the trash has been taken out.

John

  Why do people hate him?

  Perhaps the best related comment I have seen was: "Freddie Mercury dressed
as a housewife is manlier than JB."

Then again, Freddie Mercury was one /hell/ of a man! That guy could pull 
anything off...
