nath,

I have found that the older I get the more I gravitate back to artists like The Beatles and Sinatra so I agree there is something to be said about quality as it pertains to what is popular.

Everyone has a built in bias when it comes to art, music, sex, food and most everything in life and across each of these spectrums some people will be better judges of what is good vs. what is trash. Basd on your selections in this thread, I'd agree that you have a better grasp on what constitutes good music than most.

I really think for future generations, the Internet will drive what is popular. The ability of anyone and everyone to have their music heard will result in a lot of 'cream' rising to the top. The record industry is in the early stages of a death spiral.
