Pre-89 Music is Dead

I think it's common knowledge by now that all older music (with the cutoff at exactly 1989) is irrelevant.  Not only is it unoriginal, but also bad. All of the pre-89 music will soon fade into oblivion to be seceded by the vastly superior modern music. The noise created by these pre-89 caveman should not even be called music.  Say NO to the dark shadow of music past and embrace the present! 

I agree.

The simple fact is that all music recorded on magnetic tape is terrible. As a matter of fact, if the artist composed the music thinking he would have to put it onto tape, or anything non-digital, then the music is inherently flawed and not even re-recording it digitally can save it from being the foulest kind of "art" imaginable.

Face it, all music before the advent of affordable project studios with software workstations isn't really music at all, just clanging nonsense made by proto-humans.

Most great music is on digital files. LPs, 8-tracks and cassettes are rubbish, they sound like garbage or trash.

I know, right? How can someone sound great without autotune?

Say no to Pre-2011 music.

I once listened to a record by a pre-89 band. I couldn't believe they once called this "music" - or even "art" - what we have now is miles above! 

This thread is ripe for a Just For Fun relocation.

Whoah, how did this thread get here?  Was it something I said?

There.

Yeah. If your going to try to convince us that music doesn't suck, it's a bad idea to start with Yes.
