I have all my Apple Music favourite songs sorted by year, and I find the good years didn't start until at least 1975. Each year after that was pretty good, but the good years lasted until 1984. After that, there's been nothing good.

60’s music, especially 1964-69, was when music was truly transformative. Just ask Simon & Garfunkel, The Stones, the Beatles, Iron Butterfly, The Doors, etc.

Still click bait. You could just as easily ask Miles Davis and John Coltrane about transformative music of the 1950s. Or you could ask L. van Beethoven about the late 1700s.
