After that the rot set in, along with commercialism and cynicism.

'billion' lol that's quite claim..
Queen made music for people who didn't really understand the medium.
Good stuff for the dullards.
Keeps them away from the good music.

Having Eric Prydz's remix of Brick in The Wall in the charts at Xmas is just like being back in 1979 (i think it was).

The 60's was the best decade for music in general, but the 70's were not bad either.

That wasn`t too bad I suppose. My all time fave, probably Fairytale Of New York.
Hasn`t nobody mentioned Last Christmas by Wham yet?
I think yeah the 70`s did have a vast majority of the better ones.
But over the past couple of decades all we have been subjected to is cheesy tat. It is time for the industry to try and reclaim the 70`s songs by grabbing the bull by its horns and to stop churning out the endless rubbish which we are subdued to every year.
