As someone who grew up in the 80's, I realize it can be easy to say something like that -- but I remember there being a whole lot of crappy music also. The "inferior product" argument is pretty subjective.
Even though I grew up listening to Boston, Van Halen, Bad Company etc, I consider myself very progressive, and I'm always seeking out new music. That old stuff doesn't sound so good to me anymore(Ok Boston still rules).
The good stuff is out there, you just have to find it -- and believe me, I'm constantly being floored by new music that affects me in even more profound ways than that old school rock I discovered as a teenager.
Anything on the Grammy's sucked ass, but that's really just the tip of the music world ice berg. It's a business in which the cream doesn't rise to the top(most of the time). It's about who got picked to be the new "it" band.
