re: Why is Classic Rock so Much Cooler than Modern Rock?

I don't know if it was necessarily better or cooler. It's just that you don't have to sift through all of the shitty music to find the good classic rock. We know, looking back, who is worth listening too (Beatles, Zep, Doors, Beach Boys...). Nowadays, you have to listen to the good stuff, and the shitty stuff to figure out what is worth listening to. So, it just waters everything down, or so it seems.
