Same thing with stuff like:

Saturday Night Live - the current cast isn't funny, especially compared to the heyday of 5-8 years ago
As time passes people tend to try and forget the crap and only remember the good; and as a result the past always seems so much better than today.

In general, you're completely right. It's tied to the "Grass is greener" mentality as well, imo.
That said, the music argument is legit. The eighties killed music. It sorta came back for a few years in the nineties, but then quickly went bad again and hasn't shown any signs of recovering.
There is not a single band in mainstream* music that can hold a candle to what came out of the sixties.
*yes, there are indie bands that are awesome, but they are not in the same market for comparison.
