HandLogger:
Another ancient relic here. ;D I have some of the tunes in your collection in my own [rather large] collection, but I'm afraid to suggest anything to you out of fear that it will be "too geriatric" for you to try. One of the earlier posts put it fairly well. At least some of the artists you listed in the OP were inspired, in one way or another, by us old musicians. As a guitar player -- and a long time music observer -- I can tell you, with no hesitation, that much of the music you like is predicated on the same cord progressions that have been in use for decades. Just because the subject matter in the lyrics has changed doesn't mean that the music itself has changed very much. That's my old $0.02

Well put.
Scobie:
Have a look at Rick Beato on youtube. He does a great job of dissecting music in his "What makes this song great" series and his analysis of current top 10 music (iTunes, Spotify playlists etc.) is also really informative re the predictive nature of some of today's music and highlights why innovation in song structure and chord progression is so important.
Couple examples, there are lots more.

And in the category of "I wish I had said that", the award goes to HandLogger.
Really, so much knowledge conveyed in so few words....
