Not a metal post and not really a rant... I saw a video pop of all the #1 hits in Australia for a decade so decided to watch vids from the 1950s through to the 2000s.
Music was very, very predictable and tame in the '50s up until the mid '60s when The Beatles appeared. I didn't realise it but they held the #1 slot for about 8 of 12 months in 1964! It's insane how big they were and we'll never see anything like it again. The Stones arrived around '65 and by '66 was the beginning of the psychedelic movement (although not represented by #1 hits). There was a large transformation moving from the 60s into the 70s, and the quality of songs started picking up around 1975. The quality was consistent to around the mid 80s before starting to slide a bit, and by the mid-90s it was a nose dive in quality. The 2000s songs are utter garbage. There are people like Kylie Minogue and Madonna that had #1 songs during this time and they're total crap compared to their '80s hits.
Now I know this is a very narrow sample of normie music but to a large degree mirrors metal. You had proto-metal 66-69 with Sabbath arriving in 1970, but things didn't really get moving until Judas Priest ('76), Motorhead ('77), etc. From there things were absolutely explosive up until the late 80s when things started to plateau, and by the mid 90s it was almost dead. Since then there's been plenty of decent music but barely little innovation.
It seems like we got to a point in the 90s and exhausted the best of what we could do musically, kinda like the Pareto Principle... 80% of the best music was already recorded. There has undeniably been a decline in artistic capability and expression during the past 30 years. What to put this down to? Is it that the culture is burnt out? Are we too decadent as a society? Has technology indirectly (and directly) destroyed the art of music? Is there anywhere further to go or are we simply repeating what has come before us? The decline was before the internet and Napster, so while it may be a factor there's something definitely bigger influencing the decline.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys think.

New Scald album āAncient Doom Metalā shaping to be the epic doom release of the year. Bookmark this quote.
Best music written already: I think when it comes to chords, melodies, riffs. They are somehow mathematical limited. Best combinations are probably used already.Not a metal post and not really a rant... I saw a video pop of all the #1 hits in Australia for a decade so decided to watch vids from the 1950s through to the 2000s.
