Seriously, I know "people have said this for years" but for a generation now it's been true. The good music from the 1950s through the mid-1970s never went out of style and had to come back as "classic" but was deemed "classic" in the 1980s when people were bailing on the new music, and almost none of the music from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s will ever be considered classic - they had 1950s stations and shows in the 1970s, they'd have a lot of 1980s and some 1990s stations now if music from those decades was any good.
One thing I HAVE noticed is that once people become exposed to good music they don't go back - once you hear Hendrix you realize that the white hair-band leaders from the 1980s were horrible guitarists and once you hear Wes Montgomery and Freddie King you realize that jazz and blues guitarists were several times better than rock guitarists.
But why don't more people seek out quality? I guess I could have asked, with Hackerbrau available why drink Bud Light?
