Are RPG's getting worse every 5 years? (List your top 10 RPG's ever to help!)

I rarely participate in people's nostalgia-fests, but this thread in particular really eats at me. >_<

One of the above posters suggesting that console RPGs are getting worse, and PC games are getting better only shows his experience with PC RPGs is limited and he's only just now getting into the genre (when the total amount of development going into the genre has been decreasing, and the amount of creative developers have been fleeing the field >_<). While console RPGs are continuing to diversify, niche and create entirely new and different experiences for the first time after a long period of time of being weak W-RPG clones.

Ah well...

I personally have a very hard time choosing a top 10; hell I have a hard time choosing a top 40, but I'll list some of my favourites and their time of release:

Wizardry 8 (2002)
Legend of Mana (2000)
SaGa Frontier 2 (2000)
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel's Song (2005)
Ogre Battle 64: Persons of Lordly Caliber (2000)
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (1998)
System Shock 2 (1997)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (2005)
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter (2003)
Vagrant Story (2000)

I've been playing RPGs since I was introduced to Wizardry 2 at age 5, so I'm not new to the genre. These titles have just managed to impress me the most for their creativity and overall playing experience. Console RPGs still haven't hit their peak, and there was as much crap (actually more) released during the SNES and PSX generations as there is now. I really don't understand the concern of there being a sudden flood of crap when there always has been.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
