Hi, Yes indeed there was a shift. And I agree that country has moved into the slot that pop had. For myself I like pretty much any king of music that is well recorded and tries to convey some type of message not necessarily just the words, but the whole experience. It does seem that much of the contemporary stuff is either a remake (often not as good as the original) of older stuff or is focused on volume over quality. Just my two cents. It seems to me that the trend started earlier than you mentioned. A shift was in progress at the end of the "disco" era. Maybe it was the last gasp of the rock movement, that somehow overlooked that words went pretty well with music. Another two cents. One area that seems to be hanging in there is jazz. While not my most favorite genre, there is a good selection of quality stuff happening there.
