You guys who don't like them though, didn't go through the 60's when they were just about the only inventive band around.
You've got an endless pallette of bands to choose from these days and multiple formats like CD's and Video's and MP3's.
All I had when I was a teen was a little mono record player with a dull needle and 3" speakers.
For me it was save up my money for a month to buy the latest Beatles album and then hearing something like Sgt Pepper, which I'd never experienced before. Then I'd spend a month listening to that one album over and over again. The only other music I heard was top 40 on a transistor radio or my dads old Frank Sinatra records.
You younger guys have so much choice that you never take the time to really savour any one band let alone one record.
