"The point I was trying to make is that it's still more legitimate to
call them the best US rock band of all time than to nominate any of
those newfangled post 1990's 'rock' bands for that."Many people share your sentiment, but are afraid to say it. The problem is people choose their music based on personal social ties rather than the music itself, and then take criticism of that music personally. Add the media bombardment of the notion that social relevance is "better" than artistic refinement, and people end up being conditioned to judge music in such manner.
This is also a condition beyond our control. The best we can do is try to find those obscure gems that counter social trends.
