This is so totally not true in my case.

<looks up billboard top 100 that year>

Ok, I still listen to American Pie, Nights In White Satin, Rocket Man, City of New Orleans, Layla, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, Hot Rod Lincoln, Anticipation, Taxi, Roundabout, Doctor My Eyes, Vincent; but way more that's newer and older.

Just looked at the top 100 for my 14th earth orbit, and should advise caution to others that some years' list may cause involuntary vomiting.

not a disco fan. wasn't a disco fan. disco sucks

I find that what I listened to in my 20s is what I gravitate to. Metal was giving way to Grunge during those years.

This is about right, but perhaps only if the last datum is on an exponential scale rather than linear...

yea, no....1994 was not a good year for popular music.....I was mostly listening to iron maiden and nirvana at that time, still do a bit, but mostly moved on to symphonic metal.
edit: 1992...i'm getting older than i think again.....still dreadful, but at least november rain and smells like teen spirit weren't terrible.

I can't think of a whole lot that's worth a d@mn from 2001. The 70s had all the good stuff, even disco had more musical talent than the garbage post-90s.

You poor bastards are too young to have had great music when you were teens.

I present the Billboard Top 100 from 1965.

True dat. But, don't assume I'm saying disco is good.

That reminds me of a planet from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. One planet was so well known for it's food that people were weighed when they'd arrive at the planet and they couldn't leave until they returned the amount of mass they took from the planet.

It’s a good thing for most, that they don’t require that for disembarking a cruise ship.

I'd say 1984 was a pretty good year. There are only a handful of songs on the 100 that I wouldn't care to listen to. There are also a LOT of classics in there. Makes me wonder what they will say about today's music in 40 years. (Groan, it's been almost 40 years since I was 14!!!)
