Do You Think Today's Music is Any Better Than Prior Decades' Music?

I remember growing up hearing my mom say, "They don't make music like MY music anymore" referring to 1950's music. She wasn't into later genres. I have always thought I'm pretty open to music (except I say that I don't like country music even though there's a 1% attraction to it). But now I find myself saying things like my mom said. "They don't make any good music anymore." I was born in 1965. My high school days were the 1980's. So my preferred music is mostly 1970's music with a splash of 1960's and a splash of 1980's. That makes sense, right? That's when I was "coming of age." My husband, who was a lifelong country music fan, says country music died with Garth Brooks making it sound more like pop music. He says George Strait was the last "real country" artist. He detests today's version of country music. I like some modern songs, don't get me wrong, but I groove to older music. I think modern music is too auto-tuned and the singers have less quality voices, and I just can't relate to it. How do you feel about today's music versus the music of the past?
