Why not, today’s music sucks so much, a 50 year old album will probably sell like hotcakes.

The music of the 50’s - 70’s was the best. It will probably never be repeated.

Some of the 80s British pop was actually pretty good.

Looking back we took that music for granted. It’s only when we consider the musical dark age that started afterwards that we realize how good we had it.

Not that there wasn’t a lot of foolish and insipid music then as well. But there was also a huge amount of great music, and that is what is missing today.

There’s a Dylan interview with Rolling Stone that I was skimming yesterday. He’s not at all impressed with what’s being foisted off on the public these days. Can’t say I’m a big Dylan fan but I sure agree with his assessment.
