Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article)
@cd318 - I wouldn't negate the nostalgia factor; there's still a lot of older people around, and most of them are not going to be listening to much of anything newer than the 70's or 80's. You can see that on a lot of forums....

I dunno if there's such a thing as 'best', but my favorite is the soundtrack to Twin Peaks, with music by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch...   
New equipment
@charles1dad - indeed! There were a lot of question marks, and I was providing my thoughts on the subject in answer.  And as most of the music I listen to is rock music and I live in an apartment, nothing is going to make me forget that Metallica...
