I was around for Sly and The Family Stone and Marvin Gaye, and your comparison is biased. You can always take any two periods of time and compare the worst of X to the best of Y. When looking backwards, you have an especial temptation to compare whatever is popular right-this-instant to whatever from back then has stood the test of time, even if it wasn’t the most popular thing in the world. I’d compare Justin Bieber to The Monkees, personally.

>You can always take any two periods of time and compare the worst of X to the best of Y. Yeah, but both were in the top charts. Not that good stuff in the charts nowadays. >I’d compare Justin Bieber to The Monkees, personally. That comparison would also make my point, though. Bieber is for teenage girls, period, and bad at that. 60's music for teenage girls were the Beatles or at worse Petula Clark and the like.
