Indeed!

(Although both the 1960s and 1980s were not bad at all.)

As for the twenty-first century, well….

Be careful, HL, remember that Bricktop and Mosiah read this forum daily! Both gentlemen won’t take kindly ( ) to you dissing one of their superstars!

Hehe.... Remember my post a couple of years ago about which decade produced the best music - 70's or 80's? We can all agree that "good" music, across all genres, both foreign and local, stopped being made at the turn of this century. There are still a few "good" music being produced today, but it is not the norm.

And I agree with everything you’ve said here. Music today seems to have lost creative and lyrical focus and so has become overtly and completely commercialized in this 21st century, with some exceptions of course (as you stated).
