I know what you mean, but at the same time music isn't just notes and chords. Its a cultural artifact and a product of a particular culture. Most of us here are young and grew up up with certain concepts, assumptions and paradigms ingrained in us- different ones than other generations grew up with. So it makes sense that people here will tend to have music from the past few years on their list. Thats the music that is part of us. I think its silly to only listen to new stuff but at the sametime I think there are reasons other than ignorance to value contemporary albums above older ones.
Ok, that probably makes no sense and its really verbose and pseudo-intellectual. I apoligize. Kids, this is what happens when you take cultural studies/critical theory courses... :-(
