DITTO. The 80’s was the last decade of good Pop Music. Something happened in the 1990’s where Pop music just was not appealing anymore. I could not name any top ten song, album or group from about 1995 and on. Offer me a million dollars right now to name one song in the top 25, and I would walk away broke.
Country during that same period however started gaining younger listeners. It was not just music Dad listened to anymore.

Coincidentally, I also have reached the point where I cannot name all the teams in the NBA and the names of NBA players I recognize has dropped to 8.
