I tend to agree with most of what the man said, although I personally think the Beatles are over-rated. It is, I'm afraid, the steady march of commercialisation of everything - food - music - you name it. Instant gratification is the unfortunate name of the game. You can add that in the UK we have smooth, capital, smooth, and heart playing narrow song lists of popular tracks - and the top 10.
I always knew the world was being taken over by sinister blonde bearded Swedish men - just kidding - in fairness the 80's had the 'hit factory' the 00's onwards simon cowell
In the past a lot of musicians got no exposure - the internet has helped in this regard, but rather ironically as the availability is at its widest the mainstream selection is at its' narrowest
