LOL. I was musing to myself the other day that things haven't really changed in the music scene at all. 95% of the music produced is complete crap, and has been every decade since I was born. It's just that when we look back, obviously we remember the good stuff, and forget the crap.

It's the musical equivalent of the "The phone always rings when I'm in the bath!" syndrome. Of course it doesn't, but who remembers - or counts - the times that they've bathed uninterrupted, or answered the phone when it wasn't inconvenient?

Not only does it confirm that a good 50% of the number one singles throughout the years were junk, but you can also see what was number one on the day you were born. To my everlasting shame, I was born to the winsome strains of *Tie A Yellow Ribbon (Round The Old Oak Tree).
