Am I old? Or was music better in my youth? (1970s-1980s)

[Tribalceltic]

75. I think a lot has to do with how we listen to music now

In the early 70's I listened to local AM radio... Pop music, News, Weather, Local fire dept dispatches and Time (and an automatic lightning detector. Later FM stereo was an incredible increase in the quality of the music. The 80's brought MTV and the sound (through a tiny TV speaker ) was as bad as AM radio had been. The 90's brought Internet and MP3's and again the sound did not improve.

Neither did my hearing. Today I listen to music through the computer on a virtual world that Brings me the DJ's of old, who are well informed and performing for small enough groups they can handle requests and dedications. I also get to virtually dance better than i ever did in "real life"

There is still good music being produced (for my tastes, which have broadened with age). I have even learned to appreciate Jazz! I enjoy the best of most Genre's (well except for crap and hip hop). Having a DJ give more information about the music they are playing takes me back to the AM days with much higher quality.

Having my choice of genre, style and period of music, along with the ability to search is truly amazing to me.
