I can keep The Beatles and Steely Dan, everything else can get their coats.
Black Sabbath gets to stay too.
For sure.
Zep had a few good albums. Jethro Tull. David Bowie. Pink Floyd.
But there are also a finite number of times you can listen to the same album before you start craving new stuff.
Are you suggesting kids nowadays know anything about music?
Your parents said the same about you, just as your grandparents said the same aboot your parents
People were saying the same things about the Beatles as they now say about multitudes of young bands. Now they are old people music and thus "real music".
Music is just becoming lazier. We got from needing 70 instruments and an incredible opera singer to 6 instruments and a talented jazz singer to 4 instruments and a good singer to 0 instruments a bad singer but a lot of vocoder. I didn't said it was bad, just lazy.
We've also gone from people needing to be independently wealthy to even think about creating great music to just needing a cheap computer. Music hasn't gotten lazier, the barrier to entry has just gotten lower meaning there is a lot more being made across the quality spectrum.
Music is more accessible than ever.
That's a good thing in my opinion.
