We don't have classics today because, well, the music is new. New music by its very nature couldn't be considered classic. Only time will tell what music holds up in 20 years. So, yeah, there is endless crap. I seem to remember hair metal being total ****e in 80's. I seem to remember endless Zeppelin rip offs in the 70's. Again, it will be the same today. It is just coming at us in different mediums and under different circumstances. Nah, if anyone is their spokesperson it is me. I can respect how someone would not like the Pumpkins, but I personally love them. All the way up to and including Machina, I loved it. Even Adore, their most hated album, has some of the best songwriting I have ever heard. This is just my opinion, obviously.

That was actually my point. In the 2030s, I can discover music from the 2010s more easily because by then, others will have done it for me and can tell me what the classics I'm gonna like are.

For anyone who still doesn't see our point, imagine a bowl of M&M's of all colors. You only like the red ones, and you have to sift through all the other crappy colors to get to them. You give up, come back a week later, and see someone sifted out the red ones for you. Score!

Please read other posts. I'm not the only one. It must be hard to argue about a band you have no clue about. Ignorant really.

I disagree with the whole 'classics being the good albums sorted out for you' concept.
Only about 1 in every 5 so called 'classics' have been worth the 45 minutes I gave them.
