Query: The Decline of Pop Hits

Compare this collection of late 70's hits with the collections of HAVE A NICE DAY from the early to mid-70's. This CD is basically whatever they had left to pick from. The early 70's were no doubt, rich in producing a multitude of the best melodies, performances and songs that still last today. I was " lucky " to find this late volume recently , and cheaply at a longtime record store that is still open for business. I bought it to have as part of the series, even though it's weak, and only contains a few big hits - EMOTION, FEELS SO GOOD, a few others. It's a reflection of how bad late 70's pop got. Pseudo-disco, fluff, schmaltz and schlock make up the bulk of the tunes on here. Thank goodness that pop music turned the corner in the 80's, as this volume is loaded with artists trying to come up with a good song, and failing miserably.
