I disagree with you, - but it's just personal opinion.
I must confess a certain myopic leaning toward the early 80s and the early 90s as the best time for music. Almost everything that happened in the 70s was completely horrible IMO, almost as bad as the 50s.
With the death of the previous "Music Industry" paradigm of physical products, I think that one can argue at least, that they amount of products are diminishing enough to say that there is less potential for what anyone would call "good" just because there is less.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
