And to the last post... How many people really had Hi end Hifis in the old days? What you on about there? Most people have better headphones now than people with decent Hifis in the 70's and early 80's. Even the masses spinning vinyl had cheap needles and radio players were very poor, remember those crappy cassette players. An I pod with some designer head phones is a big step up from what we had when i was a kid (i don't have an ipod). Most kids these days upgrade the headphone first chance they get, even in the poor areas.
You are raising valid points but your not seeing the full picture. I recon more people have Hi end gear now than they ever did.
Another point, how many shit 1 hit wonders came and went back then too?
