Classical Music. Why does it get so much credit? (metal, single)

some newer is alright, but older is a lot better. . .

I personally listen to whatever sounds good to me.

Why the hell would I worry about when the music was made and how much credit it is or isn't getting?

Worrying about all that crap is just subtracting focus away from the reason for listening to music in the first place.

Um...
No, I usually look at the CD to see what I'm listening to.

I really don't understand your question.
I don't require a band's complete statistics to figure out whether I like them or not.

it is nice to know more about them though isnt it?

Sure. But since when does that dictate whether I listen to the music or not?

Im sorry to tell you brother but remove the word "better" from that post (this would suggest that in 20 years time the bands in the present day will produce music of a higher quality just because 20 years has passed) and you just answered your own question.

Can I ask you one question? Would you put Killswitch Engage, Coldplay, Muse or for that fact any band or artist that you can think of from the last 10 years in the same category?
