I think a big part of it is that they laid out a big part of the foundation for music today. Music today wouldn't be what it is without those bands, because a lot of music today is just trying to recreate what was done then.

Personally, I like all kinds of music, but I most certainly don't think older music is "boring" by any means, and by dismissing it as such because it doesn't have whatever "flash" current music has is robbing yourself of the joy that music can bring. Music can be timeless to me. Sure, whatevers on the radio nowadays may be more "advanced" in some sense, but it fails to reach heights that I feel were reached with music from older time periods. If the emotional weight of the music touches me, that's what matters. I don't want gimmicks, I want heart. That cannot be defined by time period.


I was planning on writing much more, but it's quite late and I can't stay up, so I'll make a much better post on the subject in the near future.
