In 1986 we thought bands from 1969 were old classics it was only a 17 year span. In 1990 a band that was around 40 years ago would have been Elvis era. Today a band like

Rock is not dead. It never was. If there’s a band you hear that you never heard that has been out for 10 years It’s new music to you. Our jobs are to share what we discover. Make a playlist & share it with your friends.
