    Cant help but to notice that MOST of the songs listed are from long ago! Just goes to show how BAD music is today compared to those times

    I hate to say "these kids today", but the music they are growing up listening too can never compare to the 70/80s music!

    I M O

    Agreed... Im not that found of music made today...
