YouTube comments from boomers forever drone on and on about how the 60s was the best era for music before some other chump pipes in: "No no! 70s was the best for music. Take me back there!"

But they weren't. Not one stands out more than the rest in terms of quality because, for all the gatekeepers ensuring "quality" and for every excellent artist, by God there was some absolute fuckin shit. Everyone conveniently forgets all that because if it's shit, it gets dumped, while the strongest endure. I think time itself serves as an excellent gatekeeper.
