Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL one of the first use of avant-garde technique of tape manipulation in music was the 1955 hit "Jingle Bells" by The Singing Dogs. Using a razor, Carl Weismann cut, then spliced sounds of dog barks together, correcting speed, pitch and melody of the resulting tape. It reached #22 on Billboard. by Bubbly-Incident

Still better than today's "music".

There's plenty of great music and plenty of bad music no matter what time period you're looking at. Being a curmudgeon is boring.

In 1969, the year Led Zeppelin I came out, the top charting song was “Sugar Sugar” by the Archies. There has always been horrible drivel.
