Many of what we consider jazz standards were written well before the 60's. As far as pop/rock goes, I think the peak was '73. There are certainly plenty of examples of exceptional songs written since then, but I think in general it's mostly downhill since then. Just my opinion, don't anybody have a cow, man.
Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music?
So I came across this interview today and it dates back to 2011. Prince felt the 60s-80s were the golden ages of music when artists played their instruments, wrote their own songs and actually had to perform (those were his reasons).
