I noticed that they didn't blame the sales fall on the fact that today's music SUX!

There are a few gems, but you're right. A lot of today's music sucks.

It's not that today's "music sux", it's that stunning advancements in the technology of digital recording and distribution have made the music industry field so wide that the bands of yesteryear, that floated to the top to garner the few spots in a narrow recording and distribution system are being lost in a sea of easily produced mediocrity.

The fact is, if you skip the "classic bands" from the past and listen to the music of the bands that were filling the airwaves between the hits of the day, they were crap too. Just like today.

Back then, the gems were needles in a haystack, today they're needles on a hay farm.

Roger that. I have not purchased a CD of new music since the 1990s. Nothing today appeals to me and I have been a rock and roll, pop, some country, etc. type since the 1960s. Since 1990s and forward, it has been junk. Any I buy are CDs to replace old albums I used to have.
