I'll have to make it clear that I'm not referring to the original poster now, but it seems to me that when people say "they don't make good music these days", it usually means "I don't hear new songs I like in the radio station I listen to in my car". I don't listen to radio, but when I hear it somewhere a lot of the music doesn't move me (some of it does, like Hozier's "Take me to church"). But I do hear rather new music all the time - music that is not played in these radio stations - that I love. (And when I say a lot of the new music I hear on the radio doesn't move me, the same goes for music from the 70's.)

Most of what I listen to are old bands/artists, but it's more a question of habit than musical preference. I have this fixation with "the old", and it doesn't mean that it's better. I love Soundgarden now, but it took me a few years to fall in love with them. I didn't get Guns'n'Roses when I first heard them, but now I love them.
