I am an 80's kid and i remember thinking that 50's music was so much different than the music I was listening to. It seemed like it came from a different world. I liked a lot of it but it had nothing in common with the stuff i liked. it seemed like it was from another century.
Now that same music i listened to is just as many years ago as that 50's music was. but there is a difference. even though it could be cheesey, it still seems like it is in the same ball park. so have we gone about as far as we can go other than to just tweek things?
here is an example. these are the #1 songs from this day in 1956 and 1986 (30 years apart). they are about as far removed as you could get. yet the song from 1986 (30 years ago) sounds like it could almost be released today
