80s and 90s are definitely better, especially the ballads :) I also prefer older rap/hip hop (biggie/tupac/wu tang clan etc.) to recent stuff.

It's like comparing a Shakespeare sonnet to a Carol Ann Duffy piece and then claiming that no-one has been a good writer since the 1500s
I don't think it's even slightly fair to say 'every song written' because that's just not the truth. Especially in classical cases, for example! Live singers can't really use that much autotune either, so they are the artists I respect and listen to. You can tell when somethings been over autotuned rather than just a little bit pitch altered (I have some experience in this field too) for the most part, and if you can hear the autotune on the voice that's just clearly not a good singer.Quote:

I think there are great tracks that are old as well as new just have to find them, I feel that within genres that I like paticularly electronic, house there are styles that are making a return from the 90's same with hip hop there is that old school sounding stuff still being made (just look at Pro Era Crew).
For my preferred tastes it is as good as it can be. Much more diverse than it used to be, whilst still leaving room for future bands to come and innovate. I think music as a whole is better, and it annoys me to no end that there are 15 year olds out there who dote upon **** bands like The Beatles when there are modern bands that deserve attention far more than them.
1990s is probably the BEST music, but 2010+ is the more listenable. 1990s is listenable but it's so old that it gets out of taste for a few hours
For me it depends on where I am, who I'm with and what mood I'm in.
I think some people think older music is better because they grew up in that era which is understandable but younger people might think older stuff is better because only the really good ones make it through the years whereas all the mediocre stuff is forgotten
