Lol; people who can't appreciate music from before 1980 need a nice kick in the back of the head, as most of what you guys seem to like/appreciate is either diluted, derivative of, or simply influenced heavily from what was done back in the late 60's and 70's anyway (across ALL genres), so what's stopping you from spelunking some and seeing what you might have missed?
Personally, I'm also somewhere in the middle. I keep an eye what comes out regularly, but I don't make-believe that there isn't forty to fifty years of great music behind this generation either.
