So give us a list of the best 10 from the last 10 years. Assuming you can remember any of them.

The BIG difference today is the way most pop and rock songs are marketed. Back in the 50/60/70s the way to get it sold was via the radio. The song had to be good to get it played, or popular at that moment.

Today it's about the videos on MTV. Yes the pop videos of today are some of the ever, the songs are not.

Add to this the way bands rose in the early days and the way they rise now and you can see why the MUSIC of today is of a lower quality than it was in the 60s. The Beatles had been playing in clubs and pubs for years before they made. Today a band is over and gone in the time it used to take for them to learn their trade. Writing, singing and performing music.
