&gt;When I criticize today&#x27;s mainstream it&#x27;s that this quality isn&#x27;t there anymore.<p>No, it&#x27;s because you don&#x27;t like it and can&#x27;t feel superior any longer if you were to enjoy it. It&#x27;s just incredibly elitist to assume the music you don&#x27;t like doesn&#x27;t have any quality.<p>One of the best &quot;mainstream&quot; albums in recent times was Kanye&#x27;s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. A record with such masterful production, songwriting and depth that is absolutely high quality.<p>In 40 years people will look back on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy much in the same way we look back on Ziggy Stardust now. Likewise it will be remembered for it&#x27;s fearlessness, creativity and influence.
