The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are absolute garbage, and the prog rock and arena shit that came after was even worse. The Smiths blow them out of the water.
70s music was a complete wasteland outside of some new emerging genres like House/Disco, Punk and New Wave, which everyone in the US mocked. Music peaked in the 1990s, which you can tell from the wide variety of genres and the huge number of "one hit wonders", which implies a diverse range of popular styles.
