We live in a time of Industry Plants. 80% of all music thats considered popular today is performed by people who have no business in the music industry. The artists today come with lots of extras like sex videos, Having completely clueless opinions on topics, drama over rival performers and an unquenchable appetite for fame. Music was more honest when talent was required just to step into a recording studio.

I always fall back on these things. They were the first popular act to write their own material. They were the first band to gain world-wide celebrity statis. Last they were the first group to have complete artist control over the music they were making. These 3 things opened the flood gates for every artist that followed them. To say they are over-rated is beyond crazy.
