Pink Floyd revolutionized music - before them The Beetles revolutionized music - before them Elvis revolutionized music -

Yep. Floyd's "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" still seems ahead of it's time--30 years after it was recorded.

Robert Johnson is still better than almost anything out there today--almost 70 years after his last recording.

The truly great stuff is A) highly influential and B) timeless.

Absolutely on both counts.

I think rabid Beatles fans are mostly from that generation and have lost perspective of the last 100 years or so of music.

In reality I guess we could go back further, Handel and Mozart have left a bit of a mark.
