Is Old Music Killing New Music?

Why?

"We" didn't create anything. That is but one drop of a song in the middle of an ocean of Springsteen, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Bowie, Prince, R.E.M., Dire Straits, Petty, Mellencamp, Run DMC, heck, even the Beastie Boys.... just off the top of my head, around the time We Built the City came out.

I've said the same many times. The best music is rarely at the top of the charts. In 1969 the #1 song for
the year was Sugar Sugar. If I asked you who was your favorite group from that era, I guarantee many would not
say The Archies.

We built this city was recorded in 85. I was all in to Metallica,Judas Priest,Iron Maiden,AC/DC etc etc etc.

Back to a point raised earlier. Should old rock n rollers face mandatory retirement ? I say no. Keep on doing what
you love. The age of the musicians below range from 73- 77. Yes, they are past their prime and it's damn criminal
the Rock and Roll hall of fame finally inducted them 27 years after they were eligible.
