I agree that there is a lot of good music out there these days, but I don't see a lot of stuff that hits quite the same level of pure awesome as the 60's and 70's, and even the 80s.
And it's not really even nostalgia for me, since most of the music I like was way before my "formative years" of the mid/late 90s (hell, most of the stuff I like was before I was born). I was in charge of my wedding list a few weeks back, and apart from throwing a few bones to the teens in the group, almost all the songs were pre 1990. I just don't connect with the new stuff as much as I do with the older ones.

I'm not saying anything about the music itself, just that the Stones and Clapton probably aren't going to be remembered as classics like the Beatles.
