You are corrrect. When discussing music with friends I always say that with a few exceptions, good music pretty much stopped 1985 or so.

I’m partial to Karma Police, not sure why. Maybe it’s the chord progressions.

Well, music is totally subjective, as to what people like.

A lot of people feel nostalgic for the popular songs from when they were young and carefree and coming of age.

I considered Karma Police, but Thom’s vocals were just perfect on Street Spirit.

I got as far as #40 and only recognized five of them. Quit.

Always liked “River Of Dreams”.

Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end.

The 90’s was where music really began to fall apart. Computerized techno beats. Lip syncing. Rapp... And just a loss of musical talent all the way around. By the end of the 90’s the transformation to garbage had been completed.

I thought 50’s music had a lot of high quality music that was damn fun, Sixties about the same for me, but pushing the boundaries made it more interesting in some respects, and I think Pop Music peaked in the Seventies, declined a bit in the Eighties (still with some darn good music) and in the Nineties, I completely lost interest in anything being played on the radio.

I think the quality of pop music really peaked in the Seventies. There was some real, honest to goodness music, and it was often melodious, complex, and quite polished. Beautiful stuff. And great Rock. I even enjoyed some disco. Sure, they had songs like “The Streak” and “Dead Skunk”, but every generation has silly songs like that.

The Eighties pushed the envelope, but still some great music that was very evocative of the time and fun to listen to. I still enjoy Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Thomas Dolby, Talking Heads, etc.

Don’t know. I always blamed the decline for me in the Nineties on Grunge and it seemed that was when Rap made inroads to me into a wider popular culture.

I couldn’t take that. I listen to nearly all kinds of music, even New Age stuff like Enya I find enjoyable.

I’m a big Jazz fan (mostly old school 40s, 50’s, 60’s and even into the Seventies. I learned how to play the sax after I left the Navy, and I became completely engrossed in guys like Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, and a boatload of others, but I love a wide swath of Jazz ranging from Stan Kenton and Chet Baker to Miles Davis and Buddy Rich. I got so into the sax players I could hear two notes of a sax being played and tell you who it was.

Love classical, too. (My real exposure began with my involvement with Drum and Bugle Corps). Big Band (Like Tommy Dorsey and Duke Ellington)

But over it all, the one music style that I never, ever developed any appreciation for was Rap. I get that it is beat, but it is almost all expressed in angry overtones if not actual anger. I have enough anger in my life, I don’t need more.

But all in all, I will readily accept that I am the one who stopped consuming mainstream music as the 90’s rolled around. The Old Fart Music Syndrome...:)

The top 10 sucked. Stopped looking after that. Probably some gems smothered by the affluenza.
