I think that the reason music of today sucks so bad is because it does not have a sound that is long lasting. The music is too trendy, something that you'll listen to for like half a minute and then want to toss in the trash. What makes good music to me is something that stands the test of time and still sounds as great as when it was first released (Earth, Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye, Level 42, U2, etc). I doubt very seriously that the music makers of today will have as great of an impact or last as long as the great musicians that came before. Maybe a few, but it's unlikely.
