This little chart comes from overthinkingit.com, and shows peak oil production in the US about 1965, charted against Rolling Stone’s list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All TIme"; this is not just rock, we’re talking great songs (#1 is Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone, FYI). You can’t dispute the oil numbers, but it’s IMPOSSIBLE that songwriting quality declined as pictured- and ignores some of the best songs ever written, just because nobody’s heard them??? What did they do, find a hundred boomers and take their word for it??
Am I an expert? I've certainly put in my 10,000 hours, which should qualify me to punda-fi...so I will, here, at efMDotCom, the original efolkMusic.com.
