I don’t think the OP was suggesting that defined "good music". He was simply teeing up some input and reflection - of that category what did you like best?
It didn’t define good music, but it certainly contained A lot of it.
The second half of the 70’s was the beginning of corny.
I guess I don’t understand why someone wants to talk just for the sake of talking. Not the best. Not the worst. OK, just memories. But I never paid any attention to top 40. it was filler IMO. But thats me.
I will agree that a lot of good music was top 40. A blind squirrel findas a nut sometimes. One example I remember was a song by
Diesel - Sausolito Summer Nights. Give it a listen
(1) Diesel - Sausalito Summer Nights - Bing video
as to corny Music in the last half, let me remind you that The Wall and Breakfast in America both came out in 1979. There are plenty others but 'Disco" overshadowed the good music being put out
