Or in the history of recorded music or within genres that you wouldn't usually explore. What are the odds that the your favourite artists of the past that have (for lack of a better phrase) stood the test of time are your favourite artists from their respective era? If the people who crossed their arms and declared modern music to be a farce have historically been dead wrong, why should that same curmudgeonism hold any water in 2019 2?
