Having grown up in the 70's I disagree (and agree with thx1138).
Good music has never been that easily accessible.
It's a factor of age to think music was better in your youth.
I agree however, the major labels are presiding over the McDonaldsization of contemporary music. Meanwhile the internet and software has brought the opportunity of a commercial release to a wider community.
Back in the day, you had to have demos, a bit of a following and the backing of an A&R man to get a record released. Therefore a lot of 'good music' never made it.
Now there's nothing stopping good music from being heard.
