Why Music Sucks Now

[GroverCleveland]

If you could only listen to one decade of music, what would it be?

This is so hard. 70's, probably for me.

1820s, then the 1970s followed by the 60s. Started trailing off in the mid-80s.

There was a science fiction story some years ago. The point was that there were only finitely many sequences of musical notes. Take Beethoven's 5th, change 3 notes, and you haven't written a new symphony.

Anyway, at some point in the future, every reasonable sequence had been exhausted.

What if you alter the interval between half notes and create a new musical scale?

I'm not an expert on music -- I guess that would work (?)
