"I think the main difference today, is that you can't expect to hear the best of current pop music on the radio."

Define 'best'... I dare you to try!

There is no 'best'... there's only what you like and what you don't like... IF you don't like what is on ONE radio station, use the knobs to change to a different station... if you don't like what you hear there, look further afield... if you've looked absolutely everywhere and you still find NOTHING you like, then yer a cranky old toss-pot and the world is better off without you....
