In the states, we have stations that only play oldies; in other words,
they're still in rotation. I like a lot of that stuff (being on the cusp
of 50 years myself), but, well, not all of the time.
Clear Channel/Viacom/Murdoch and things equally ugly rule the airwaves
here these days, unless you're listening to public or college radio.
The Motown stuff is mostly incredible - dunno if that's an objective
thing in the music or just my constructed ears, but one can say that the
instrumentation
in those tracks takes the writing to a new level, which isn't shabby to
start with. It still sounds good to me.

Nah - bad financial decisions exacerbated by pharmacology are the domain
of no one region.
I can make bad financial decsions without drugs. Just look at my eBay lists!
