that popular music died in 1974. After that date, what is considered “good” music just creates a buzzing sound in my ears. Call it old age or old fogeyism, but I do not consider what poses as music these days to be anything more than atonal utterances of limited talent. And now I have the proof.
Some good music for your ears.

I agree with your thesis, but not your examples. Music has become corporate product, assembled by machine, in most cases. However, I liked the Perri song above a lot more than the Fleetwoods song. I have never heard of either of those performers before right now, so I can state I am not just choosing one I already liked.
You don’t know The Fleetwoods?!
No, sorry. Fleetwood Mac, but not the Fleetwoods. From the two songs you have posted, I have to say the Fleetwoods aren’t rock and roll enough for me.
