The period where songs will stand the test of time is no more. Artists will just release anything they want and expect us to accept it. It's sad but it's something that happens more often than we'd care to admit it. We need to wake up as a people. Thats what's more important.
I agree with you on the fact that music has lost quality and it's one of the reasons why these songs just fade after a short time.
There are old schools I listen to and I just laugh when comparing them to the things we have today. Very disappointing.
