Re: Music and the test of time
If VH1 produced a Top 100 of the 80's feature back in 1997, would that list be any different from one they produce today? Which is another way of asking, how much does our estimation of artists relative to their contemporaries change over time (because one had real talent vs. one's being a fad)? It might be easier to answer this first before tackling the more general question.
