Wall of Mouths

I see the standards of Pop music as being poor these days and wonder, what went wrong over the past decades?
This may be an exageration as i haven’t that much to go by- a collection of compilations
and a small number of essential albums, but i have noticed there was some quality music in the mainstream charts particularly in the sixties and seventies. Even the eighties had some corking tunes. Legendary bands aside (the beatles, the rolling stones, jimi hendrix etc) I think the number of good songs in the sixties can be explained by a lot of good one hit wonders, but at least they where good songs, the last good one hit wonder i remember buying was a song called “inside” from a levi advert, and what is there now - nickleback , alright the song i mentioned may have many similarities but it made the nickleback song look bad - which they deserve.
The seventies had many high charting songs that stand out to me, but this era had the benefit of many styles being popular at the time - reggae, punk , ska, disco and of course rock, and these styles found there way into the mainstream.
In the sixties, the amount of singles which had to be sold to get a No.1 was a hell of a lot and this amount seemed to take a nosedive in the nineties , then in this decade it is nothing in comparison, hence the amount of un-deserved nonsense which gets to No.1 now - that song about a Milkshake?
A new number one every week , everything from pop-idol to “usher” to limp bizkit to bob the builder, what will it be next- the tony blair rap?
The only reason they should still have a chart nowadays is because it is obviously still popular with children.

I think i will release a single myself- how hard can it be?
